Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch details of an SSH key by providing its ID to audit or verify key information.
  2. Use in automation workflows to dynamically retrieve SSH key data for security checks.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the SSH key ID provided in the path parameters is valid and exists in the GitLab instance.
  • If authentication is enabled, verify that the GitLab API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to access SSH key details.
  • Check the baseUrl to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
