Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific deploy token from a GitLab group using the GitLab API. It is useful for automating the management and retrieval of deploy tokens associated with groups in GitLab, which can be used for deployment automation and access control.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch details of a deploy token for a specific GitLab group to verify its permissions or expiration.
  2. Automate the retrieval of deploy tokens to integrate with CI/CD pipelines or deployment scripts.

Properties

baseUrl Base URL of the GitLab instance, default is https://gitlab.com.
Method HTTP method to use for the request, default is GET.
Path Parameters Parameters to specify the group ID and deploy token ID for the request.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the deploy token.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the group ID and deploy token ID are correct and accessible by the authenticated user.
