Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically fetch the public key to verify commit signatures in a CI/CD pipeline.
  2. Retrieve the public key to display or log it for audit purposes.

Output

JSON

  • public_key - The public key retrieved from the GitLab API for web commits.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication (unless skipping authentication).

Troubleshooting

  • If authentication is required but skipped, the request may fail with authorization errors. Ensure the GitLab API key credential is configured correctly.
  • Incorrect baseUrl may lead to connection errors or 404 responses. Verify the GitLab instance URL is correct.
  • Using an unsupported HTTP method may cause the API to reject the request. Use GET as default for this operation.
