Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve a specific SSH key associated with a user by their user ID and the key ID. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch details about a user's SSH key, such as for auditing, verification, or management purposes within GitLab.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch SSH key details for a user to verify access permissions.
  2. Retrieve a specific SSH key to display or log key metadata in an admin dashboard.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the user ID and key ID are correct and exist in GitLab to avoid 404 errors.
  • Check that the GitLab API credentials have sufficient permissions to access user SSH keys.
  • If skipping authentication, verify that the GitLab instance allows unauthenticated access to this endpoint.
