Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve user count statistics via the endpoint `/api/v4/user_counts`. It is useful for scenarios where you need to gather metrics or analytics about GitLab users, such as monitoring user growth or activity within a GitLab instance. For example, an admin might use this node to fetch user counts for reporting or auditing purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch total user counts from a GitLab instance to monitor user base growth.
  2. Retrieve user count data for integration into a dashboard or analytics tool.

Output

JSON

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the base URL is correct and accessible; otherwise, the API request will fail.
  • If the API endpoint changes or is deprecated, update the request path accordingly.
