Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve PyPi package information for a specific group using the API endpoint `/api/v4/groups/{id}/-/packages/pypi/simple/*package_name`. It is useful for automating the retrieval of PyPi package details hosted within GitLab groups, which can be beneficial for DevOps workflows, package management, and continuous integration pipelines.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve PyPi package metadata for a group to verify package versions before deployment.
  2. Automate fetching of PyPi package details for auditing or reporting purposes within a GitLab group.

Path Parameters.id The ID or full path of the GitLab group to query.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response containing the PyPi package information retrieved from the GitLab API.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication unless skipping authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the group ID or full path is correct and accessible with the provided credentials.
  • Verify that the PyPi package name is correctly specified and exists within the group.
  • If skipping authentication, confirm that the GitLab instance allows unauthenticated access to the endpoint.
