Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve user activity data via the API v4 endpoint. It is useful for scenarios where you want to monitor or analyze user activities on GitLab, such as tracking project contributions, issue updates, or other user actions. For example, it can be used to fetch activities from a specific date, paginate through results, or limit the number of activities returned per request.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch user activities starting from a specific date to monitor recent changes.
  2. Paginate through user activities to process large sets of data incrementally.
  3. Limit the number of activities per page to optimize data handling and performance.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • activities - Array of user activity objects returned from the GitLab API.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API credentials for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the GitLab API credentials are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions to access user activities.
  • Verify the baseUrl is correct and points to a valid GitLab instance.
  • Check that query parameters like 'from' date are in the correct format (ISO 8601 date-time string).
  • Handle pagination properly by using 'page' and 'per_page' parameters to avoid missing data or overloading the API.
