Overview

This node operation retrieves variables for a specific group in GitLab using the GitLab API v4. It is useful for automating the management and retrieval of group-level CI/CD variables in GitLab projects. For example, it can be used to fetch environment variables for a group to dynamically configure CI pipelines or audit variable settings.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all CI variables for a GitLab group by specifying the group ID.
  2. Paginate through group variables by setting page and per_page query parameters to handle large sets of variables.
