Overview

This node operation updates a custom header for a specific hook in a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing webhook configurations programmatically, such as modifying headers for authentication or custom data transmission in webhook requests. For example, a user can update the custom header key-value pair for a project hook to change how the webhook interacts with external services.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating a custom header for a webhook in a GitLab project to include a new authentication token.
  2. Modifying the value of an existing custom header to change the behavior of webhook payload processing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Determines whether to skip authentication for the API request.
Authentication Specifies the authentication method to use, defaulting to GitLab API authentication.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method to use for the request, defaulting to PUT for this operation.
Path Parameters Parameters required in the URL path to identify the project, hook, and custom header key to update.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API after updating the custom header.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided project ID, hook ID, and custom header key are correct and exist in the GitLab project.
  • Verify that the authentication credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to update project hooks.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure it is correct.
  • Common error messages may include 404 Not Found if the project, hook, or header key does not exist, or 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
