Overview

This node operation performs a POST request to the GitLab API endpoint /api/v4/personal_access_tokens/self/rotate to rotate the personal access token of the authenticated user. It is useful for users who want to programmatically refresh their personal access tokens to maintain security without manual intervention.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically rotate personal access tokens on a schedule to enhance security.
  2. Integrate token rotation into CI/CD pipelines to ensure tokens are always up to date.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API after rotating the personal access token, typically containing the new token details.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API credentials for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the GitLab API credentials are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions to rotate personal access tokens.
  • If the API returns authentication errors, verify that the baseUrl is correct and accessible.
  • Check that the HTTP method is set to POST for this operation, as other methods will not work.
