It is useful for scenarios where you need to access the raw data of a snippet by its ID, such as fetching code snippets or configuration files stored in GitLab for further processing or display.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch the raw content of a snippet by providing its ID to integrate with a code review or documentation workflow.
  2. Retrieve raw snippet data to analyze or transform it within an automation pipeline.
