Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific GPG key of the authenticated user from the GitLab API (v4). It is useful for scenarios where you need to access details about a particular GPG key associated with the user's GitLab account, such as verifying key information or managing user security settings.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch details of a user's GPG key by providing the key ID to audit or verify the key's properties.
  2. Use in automation workflows to manage GitLab user security keys programmatically.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the GPG key.
  • key - The actual GPG public key string.
  • created_at - Timestamp when the GPG key was created.
  • expires_at - Timestamp when the GPG key expires, if applicable.
  • can_edit - Boolean indicating if the user can edit the GPG key.
  • user_id - The ID of the user who owns the GPG key.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the key_id path parameter is provided and is a valid integer; missing or invalid key_id will cause request failure.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the GitLab API key credential is missing or invalid; verify credentials are correctly configured.
  • Network or baseUrl misconfiguration can lead to connection errors; confirm the baseUrl is correct and accessible.
