Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific feature flag from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for scenarios where you need to check the status or details of a particular feature flag within a project, such as in feature management or deployment automation workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Get the status of a feature flag named 'new-ui' in a project with ID '12345' to decide whether to enable new UI features for users.
  2. Fetch feature flag details to audit or log feature usage in a CI/CD pipeline.

baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to send the API request to.
Method The HTTP method to use for the API request.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and feature flag name are correctly specified and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the API key or token is invalid or missing; verify credentials.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
  • API rate limits or permission issues may cause request failures; ensure the API token has sufficient permissions.
