### Make a GraphQL request

**Important:** GraphQL queries containing non-null type markers (e.g. `String` followed by an exclamation mark) must be passed via heredoc stdin to avoid escaping issues. Simple queries without those markers can be passed inline.

```bash
# Simple query
# Simple query (no type markers, so inline is fine)
linear api '{ viewer { id name email } }'

# Query with variables (coerces types: booleans, numbers, null)
linear api 'query($teamId: String!) { team(id: $teamId) { name } }' --variable teamId=abc123
# Query with variables — use heredoc to avoid escaping issues
linear api --variable teamId=abc123 <<'GRAPHQL'
query($teamId: String!) { team(id: $teamId) { name } }
GRAPHQL

# Search issues by text
linear api --variable term=onboarding <<'GRAPHQL'
query($term: String!) { searchIssues(term: $term, first: 20) { nodes { identifier title state { name } } } }
GRAPHQL

# Numeric and boolean variables
linear api 'query($first: Int!) { issues(first: $first) { nodes { title } } }' --variable first=5
linear api --variable first=5 <<'GRAPHQL'
query($first: Int!) { issues(first: $first) { nodes { title } } }
GRAPHQL

# Complex variables via JSON
linear api 'query($filter: IssueFilter!) { issues(filter: $filter) { nodes { title } } }' \
--variables-json '{"filter": {"state": {"name": {"eq": "In Progress"}}}}'

# Read query from stdin
echo '{ viewer { id } }' | linear api
linear api --variables-json '{"filter": {"state": {"name": {"eq": "In Progress"}}}}' <<'GRAPHQL'
query($filter: IssueFilter!) { issues(filter: $filter) { nodes { title } } }
GRAPHQL

# Pipe to jq for filtering
linear api '{ issues(first: 5) { nodes { identifier title } } }' | jq '.data.issues.nodes[].title'
