Linear Uploads

Download attachments and images from Linear issues using linear-cli.

Download to File

# Download image/attachment to file
linear-cli up fetch "https://uploads.linear.app/..." -f image.png

# Download to temp directory
linear-cli up fetch "https://uploads.linear.app/..." -f /tmp/screenshot.png

Output to Stdout

# Pipe to other tools
linear-cli up fetch "https://uploads.linear.app/..." | base64

# Redirect to file
linear-cli up fetch "https://uploads.linear.app/..." > file.png

Finding Upload URLs

Upload URLs are found in:

  • Issue descriptions (linear-cli i get LIN-123 --output json)
  • Comments (linear-cli cm list LIN-123 --output json)

URL pattern: https://uploads.linear.app/{org}/{upload}/{filename}

View Images (AI Agents)

Since Claude is multimodal, download then read:

# 1. Download to temp file
linear-cli up fetch "https://uploads.linear.app/..." -f /tmp/screenshot.png

# 2. Use Read tool on the file
# Claude can view images directly

Tips

  • Requires valid LINEAR_API_KEY
  • Use -f / --file to specify output filename
  • Without -f, outputs raw bytes to stdout
  • URLs must be from uploads.linear.app
