Use Case Examples

  1. A workflow that checks the GitLab API version before performing other API calls to ensure compatibility.
  2. A monitoring workflow that logs the GitLab API version periodically for auditing or debugging.

Troubleshooting

  • If authentication is skipped but the GitLab instance requires authentication, the request may fail with an authorization error. Ensure authentication is enabled if required.
  • Incorrect baseUrl can lead to connection errors or 404 responses. Verify the baseUrl is correct for the GitLab instance.
  • Using an unsupported HTTP method may cause the request to fail. The default and recommended method for this operation is GET.
