Python Connector Libraries for Linear Data Connectivity. Integrate Linear with popular Python tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash & petl. Easy-to-use Python Database API (DB-API) Modules connect Linear data with Python and any Python-based applications.

Features

Powerful metadata querying enables SQL-like access to non-database sources
Push down query optimization pushes SQL operations down to the server whenever possible, increasing performance
Client-side query execution engine, supports SQL-92 operations that are not available server-side
Connect to live Linear data, for real-time data access with the Linear Python Connectors
Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the Linear Connector.

Specifications

Python Database API (DB-API) Modules for Linear .
Write SQL, get Linear data. Access Linear through standard Python Database Connectivity.
Integration with popular Python tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash & petl.
Full Unicode support for data, parameter, & metadata.

Python connectivity with Linear

Full-featured and consistent SQL access to any supported data source through Python


Connecting to Linear with Python

CData Python Connectors leverage the Database API (DB-API) interface to make it easy to work with Linear from a wide range of standard Python data tools. Connecting to and working with your data in Python follows a basic pattern, regardless of data source:

  • Configure the connection properties to Linear
  • Query Linear to retrieve or update data
  • Connect your Linear data with Python data tools.


Connecting to Linear in Python

To connect to your data from Python, import the extension and create a connection:

Once you import the extension, you can work with all of your enterprise data using the python modules and toolkits that you already know and love, quickly building apps that help you drive business.

import cdata.linear as mod
conn = mod.connect("[email protected]; Password=password;")

#Create cursor and iterate over results
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM AgentSession")
	
rs = cur.fetchall()
	
for row in rs:
print(row)
		
engine = create_engine("linear///Password=password&User=user")

df = pandas.read_sql("SELECT * FROM AgentSession", engine)

df.plot()
plt.show()

Visualize Linear Data with pandas

The data-centric interfaces of the Linear Python Connector make it easy to integrate with popular tools like pandas and SQLAlchemy to visualize data in real-time.

AI-assisted development with CData CLI

Build Linear integrations faster with AI that understands your schema

Schema-aware AI

CData CLI gives AI coding tools access to your Linear schema. No more guessing table names or column types—AI sees the same metadata in your Python Connectors.

Your AI Knows SQL

How to find table names, column names, and how to generate SQL syntax are things that AI knows well from millions of training data. No need for customization, no hallucinations. Your AI acts like a domain specialist to Linear.

More Accurate, More Token-Efficient

With CData CLI's queryable schema detection and highly efficient queries with filters, aggregation, joins with correct pushdown, your AI will achieve more accuracy with less token usage.
