Plan and track a Screenwise API integration as Linear issues

Overview⁠

Screenwise scores movies, shows, games, books, and apps for families on four dimensions, and its API lets review sites, stores, library apps, and AI assistants show those scores. The Linear integration turns that API work into a ready-made plan in your team, then keeps it current as the API changes.

How it works⁠

You connect Linear, pick a team, and answer three questions: what you are building (a website, a mobile app, or an AI assistant), which kinds of titles you show, and how scores should appear.

Screenwise then creates one parent issue with a sub-issue for each step, in the order the work happens: getting an API key, matching your titles to Screenwise with exact ids, fetching and caching scores, showing badges or parent guidance, connecting the MCP server for assistants, reporting missing titles, and a QA checklist. Each issue carries the endpoint, the request, and the rule that matters, so your team starts building instead of reading docs.

After the plan is created, Screenwise checks in daily and adds a sub-issue under it only when there is something to do: an API change worth adopting, an API key using 80% or more of its daily quota, or a revoked key. Each item is filed once, and you can turn follow-ups off at any time.

Configure⁠

Open Screenwise for Linear and choose Connect Linear. Any workspace member can connect, and Screenwise asks for read access and Linear’s issues:create scope, so it only creates new issues. Pick a team, answer the three questions, and choose Create Issues. To receive key alerts, request your Screenwise API key with the same email as your Linear account. You can disconnect on the same page, or revoke Screenwise under Settings → Applications in Linear.
