🚀 Executive Summary TL;DR: This guide provides a Python script to automate the tedious and error-prone process of manually exporting Linear issues for custom reporting. By leveraging the Linear GraphQL API, users can programmatically fetch issue data and output it into a clean CSV file, saving significant time and improving data accuracy. 🎯 Key Takeaways The solution utilizes Python 3, the requests library for Linear GraphQL API interaction, python-dotenv for secure credential management, and the csv module for file output. A GraphQL query is constructed to fetch specific issue fields (ID, title, state, assignee, labels, createdAt) for a given Linear Team ID, with a config.env file securing the API key and team ID. The script can be automated using cron jobs for scheduled exports, but users must address common pitfalls like credential mismatches, GraphQL syntax errors, and critically, implementing pagination for datasets exceeding the initial 100-issue limit.
