Overview

This node operation fetches a user's avatar image from the GitLab API (version 4) using the user's public email address. It supports specifying the size of the avatar image in pixels. This operation is useful for workflows that need to retrieve user profile images for display or processing, such as in user management systems or integrations that display GitLab user avatars.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve a GitLab user's avatar by providing their public email address to display in a team dashboard.
  2. Fetch avatar images of multiple users in an automated workflow to personalize notifications or reports.
