Overview

This node operation retrieves the list of projects starred by a specific user on GitLab using the GitLab API v4. It is useful for scenarios where you want to fetch and analyze the starred projects of a user, such as for user activity monitoring, project recommendations, or integration with other tools that track user preferences on GitLab.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all starred projects of a user by their user ID to display in a dashboard.
  2. Retrieve starred projects filtered by visibility or archived status for reporting purposes.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the user_id path parameter is correctly set to a valid user ID or username; otherwise, the API will return an error.
  • Check that the authentication credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access the user's starred projects.
  • Verify that optional query parameters are correctly formatted and valid according to the GitLab API specification to avoid request errors.
  • If the baseUrl is changed from the default, ensure it points to a valid GitLab instance with API v4 support.
