Overview

This node operation retrieves information about a specific PyPi package within a GitLab group using the GitLab API v4. It is useful for users who want to access package details hosted in a GitLab group's PyPi repository, such as package metadata or availability. For example, a developer or DevOps engineer can use this node to automate fetching package information for deployment or auditing purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch details of a PyPi package named 'my.pypi.package' in a GitLab group with ID 12345.
  2. Automate checking the availability of a PyPi package in a GitLab group before deployment.
