Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific RubyGems package file from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for accessing gemspec files stored as packages in a GitLab project, enabling automation workflows that need to fetch RubyGems package metadata or contents directly from GitLab.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate fetching RubyGems package files for CI/CD pipelines.
  2. Integrate GitLab RubyGems package retrieval into a deployment workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Whether to skip authentication for the API request.
Authentication The authentication method used for the API request, typically a GitLab API key.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method used for the request, default is GET.
Path Parameters Parameters used in the API path to specify the project ID and the gemspec file name.

Output

JSON

  • response - The raw response from the GitLab API containing the requested RubyGems package file content.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and file name are correctly specified and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Verify that the GitLab API key has sufficient permissions to access the project's packages.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance instead of gitlab.com.
  • Common errors include 404 Not Found if the project or file does not exist, and 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
