Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API, specifically supporting the operation to post Markdown content to the GitLab API v4 endpoint `/api/v4/markdown`. It allows users to send Markdown-formatted text to GitLab for rendering or other processing. This is useful for automating documentation generation, issue comments, or other Markdown-based content management within GitLab projects.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically convert and post Markdown documentation to GitLab.
  2. Post formatted Markdown comments to GitLab issues or merge requests via automation workflows.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the GitLab API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions to post Markdown content.
  • Verify the baseUrl is correctly set to the GitLab instance URL if using a self-hosted GitLab.
  • Check that the request body conforms to the expected schema for the `/api/v4/markdown` endpoint to avoid validation errors.
