Overview

This node operation retrieves metadata for a specific NuGet package version from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for developers or CI/CD pipelines that need to fetch detailed information about NuGet packages hosted in GitLab projects, such as package version details or metadata for dependency management or auditing.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch metadata for NuGet package 'MyNuGetPkg' version '1.0.0' in a GitLab project with ID '12345'.
  2. Use in automation workflows to verify package versions before deployment or integration.
