Overview

This node operation fetches user activity data from the GitLab API (v4) endpoint `/api/v4/user/activities`. It is useful for scenarios where you want to retrieve and analyze user activities such as events or actions performed by the authenticated user on GitLab. For example, it can be used to monitor user contributions, track project involvement, or generate activity reports.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve user activities from a specific date to analyze recent contributions.
  2. Paginate through user activities to display them in a dashboard or report.
