Overview

This node operation updates a specific URL variable for a hook in GitLab via the GitLab API. It is useful for managing and modifying hook configurations programmatically, such as changing webhook URL parameters dynamically. For example, it can be used to update the URL variables of a webhook to point to a new endpoint or to modify authentication keys associated with the webhook.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the URL variable 'key' for a hook with ID 'hook_id' to change the webhook's target URL parameter.
  2. Modifying webhook URL variables to update authentication or routing information without recreating the hook.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication If set to true, the node will skip using authentication for the API request.
Authentication The authentication method used for the API request, defaulting to GitLab API key authentication.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method used for the request, defaulting to GET but can be set to PUT for this operation.
Path Parameters Parameters used in the request path to specify the hook ID and the key of the URL variable to update.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API after updating the URL variable for the specified hook.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the hook_id and key path parameters are correctly set and valid, as invalid IDs or keys will cause API errors.
  • If authentication is enabled, verify that the GitLab API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to update hooks.
  • Check the baseUrl if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure the URL is correct and accessible.
  • Common error messages include 404 Not Found if the hook or key does not exist, and 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
