Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific SSH key of a user from the GitLab API. It is useful for scenarios where you need to access details about a user's SSH key, such as verifying key information or managing user access keys programmatically. For example, an admin could use this to fetch the details of a particular SSH key associated with a user to audit or update permissions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch SSH key details for a user by providing the user ID and the SSH key ID.
  2. Use in automation workflows to verify user SSH keys before granting access.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the SSH key.
  • title - The title or name of the SSH key.
  • key - The actual SSH public key string.
  • created_at - Timestamp when the SSH key was created.
  • expires_at - Timestamp when the SSH key expires, if applicable.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the user ID and SSH key ID are correct and exist in the GitLab instance.
  • Check that the GitLab API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access user keys.
  • If skipping authentication, verify that the endpoint supports unauthenticated access, otherwise the request will fail.
