Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve application statistics via the GET method on the /api/v4/application/statistics endpoint. It is useful for users who want to programmatically access GitLab application-level statistics, such as usage metrics or system information, directly within an n8n workflow.

Use Case Examples

  1. A DevOps engineer automates monitoring by fetching GitLab application statistics regularly to track system health.
  2. A project manager integrates GitLab statistics into a dashboard to visualize usage trends and resource allocation.

Output

JSON

  • statistics - The JSON object containing the application statistics retrieved from the GitLab API.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • If authentication fails, verify that the GitLab API credentials are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions.
  • Ensure the baseUrl is correctly set to the GitLab instance URL; otherwise, the request may fail or return incorrect data.
  • If the API endpoint changes or is deprecated, update the node configuration accordingly.
