Overview

This node operation retrieves the signature of a specific tag in a GitLab project's repository using the GitLab API. It is useful for verifying the authenticity and integrity of tags in a project's repository, which is important for security and release management. For example, a user can fetch the signature of a release tag to ensure it has not been tampered with before deploying the release.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch the signature of a tag named 'v1.0.0' in a project with ID '12345' to verify its authenticity.
  2. Use the node to automate the validation of tag signatures in a CI/CD pipeline to enhance security.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and tag name are correctly specified and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Verify that the GitLab API key credential has sufficient permissions to access the project's repository tags.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure it is correct.
  • Common error messages may include 404 Not Found if the project or tag does not exist, or 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
