Group_export → postApiV4GroupsIdExport

AI-generated

Summary

Trigger a group export process in GitLab by sending a POST request to the group's export endpoint using the group's ID.

Inputs

  • Id (required) — The ID of the group to export, provided as a path parameter.
  • Skip Authentication — Optionally skip using authentication for the request.
  • baseUrl — Base URL for the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.

Output shape

a successful request returns the server's response confirming the export initiation; the exact response shape depends on the GitLab API but typically includes export status information.

This operation performs a POST request to /api/v4/groups/{id}/export and requires the group's ID as a path parameter. Authentication is used by default unless explicitly skipped.

Examples

Example 1: Export a GitLab group by its ID to initiate an export operation.

Set the 'Id' path parameter to the target group's ID, keep default baseUrl unless using a self-hosted GitLab, and execute the operation. The response contains export task details.
