Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve user information via the API v3 endpoint. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch details about the authenticated user from GitLab, such as in automation workflows that require user profile data or permissions verification.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching the current user's profile information from GitLab to personalize workflow actions.
  2. Retrieving user details to log or audit API usage within an automation process.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the GitLab API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to access user information.
  • Verify the baseUrl is correct and accessible from the network where the node runs.

  • Common error messages include authentication failures (401 Unauthorized) and resource not found (404) if the API path is incorrect.
