Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to rotate the personal access token for a specific project. It is useful for automating the process of refreshing access tokens to maintain security and ensure uninterrupted access to GitLab project resources. For example, it can be used in CI/CD pipelines or automated workflows to programmatically rotate tokens without manual intervention.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate token rotation for a GitLab project to enhance security.
  2. Integrate token rotation into a scheduled workflow to ensure tokens are regularly updated.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Option to skip authentication for the request.
Authentication Type of authentication used, defaulting to GitLab API key.
baseUrl Base URL of the GitLab instance, default is https://gitlab.com.
Method HTTP method to use for the request, default is GET.
Path Parameters Parameters to be included in the request path, specifically the project ID for which the token rotation is performed.

Output

JSON

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

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID provided in the path parameters is correct and accessible with the authenticated user.
  • Verify that the GitLab API key has sufficient permissions to rotate access tokens for the project.
  • Check network connectivity and base URL correctness if requests fail to reach the GitLab server.
  • Common error messages include authentication failures (invalid or missing API key), permission denied errors, and invalid project ID errors. Resolving these involves verifying credentials, permissions, and input parameters.
