Overview

This node operation retrieves artifacts from a specific job within a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for automating the download or inspection of build artifacts generated by CI/CD jobs in GitLab projects. For example, it can be used to fetch test reports, compiled binaries, or deployment packages produced by a job.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch artifacts from a job in a project to analyze build outputs.
  2. Automate downloading of deployment packages from CI jobs for further processing.
