Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API, specifically supporting the operation to create new applications via a POST request to the /api/v4/applications endpoint. It is useful for automating the creation of OAuth applications or integrations within GitLab, enabling workflows that require programmatic management of GitLab applications.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically create a new GitLab OAuth application when onboarding a new developer.
  2. Integrate GitLab application creation into a CI/CD pipeline to manage access tokens dynamically.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API after creating an application, containing details of the newly created application.
