Overview

This node operation retrieves metadata for a specific NuGet package within a GitLab group using the GitLab API. It is useful for developers or DevOps engineers who need to access package details programmatically, such as version information or package metadata, directly from a GitLab group repository.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching metadata for a NuGet package named 'MyNuGetPkg' in a group identified by its ID or full path to automate package management or integration workflows.
  2. Using the node to verify package details before deployment or continuous integration processes.
