Overview

This node operation updates a deploy key for a specific project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing deploy keys programmatically, such as enabling or disabling keys, or updating their properties without manually accessing the GitLab web interface. For example, a DevOps engineer can automate the update of deploy keys across multiple projects to maintain security and access control.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the title or enabling/disabling a deploy key for a project via the GitLab API.
  2. Automating deploy key management in CI/CD pipelines.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Whether to skip authentication for the API request.
Authentication The authentication method used for the API request, typically an API key credential.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the API request is sent.
Method The HTTP method used for the API request, here it is PUT for updating resources.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API after updating the deploy key, containing details of the updated deploy key.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and deploy key ID are correct and accessible by the authenticated user.
  • Verify that the API token has sufficient permissions to update deploy keys on the project.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance.
  • Common error messages include 401 Unauthorized (authentication issues), 404 Not Found (invalid project or key ID), and 403 Forbidden (insufficient permissions). Resolving these involves verifying credentials, permissions, and parameter correctness.
