Overview

This node operation retrieves release information for a specific project from the GitLab API (version 4). It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch details about project releases, such as release notes, release dates, and version tags. For example, it can be used to automate monitoring of new releases in a project or to integrate release data into other workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all releases for a project to display in a dashboard.
  2. Retrieve release details to trigger notifications when a new release is published.
