Overview

This node operation allows users to download the export of a specific GitLab group by its ID. It is useful for scenarios where users need to retrieve a backup or export data of a GitLab group for migration, backup, or analysis purposes. For example, a user can automate the process of downloading group exports regularly for archival.

Use Case Examples

  1. Download the export of a GitLab group by specifying the group's ID.
  2. Automate backup of GitLab group data by scheduling this node to run periodically.
