Overview

This node operation retrieves a simple PyPI package index for a specified GitLab group using the GitLab API v4. It is useful for automating package management workflows, such as fetching package metadata or integrating with CI/CD pipelines that depend on PyPI packages hosted within a GitLab group.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch the PyPI simple index for a group to list available packages.
  2. Integrate with a CI pipeline to verify package availability before deployment.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Determines whether to skip authentication when making the API request.
Authentication Specifies the authentication method to use if authentication is not skipped.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the API request is sent.
Method The HTTP method used for the API request.
Path Parameters Parameters included in the API request path, specifically the group ID or full path to identify the group whose PyPI packages are being queried.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API containing the simple PyPI package index for the specified group.

Dependencies

  • Requires GitLab API key credential for authentication unless skipping authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • If authentication is skipped but the GitLab instance requires authentication, the request will fail with an authorization error. Ensure the 'Skip Authentication' option is set correctly.
  • If the group ID or path is incorrect or missing, the API will return a 404 or similar error indicating the group was not found.
  • Ensure the base URL is correct for the GitLab instance being accessed to avoid connection errors.
