Overview

This node operation retrieves the list of projects starred by a specific user on GitLab using the GitLab API v4. It is useful for scenarios where you want to fetch and analyze the starred projects of a user, such as for user activity monitoring, project popularity analysis, or integration with other tools that require project data from GitLab.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all starred projects of a user by their user ID to display in a dashboard.
  2. Retrieve starred projects filtered by visibility or archived status for reporting purposes.

  • Verify that the API authentication credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access the user's starred projects.
  • Check that the baseUrl is correctly set to the GitLab instance URL if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
