Using Gitlab APIs: Real Use Case Scenario

GitLab APIs and Continuous Integration serve as powerful tools for managing bulk tasks, particularly in testing projects across multiple repositories under a single group. In a practical scenario involving Company XYZ, the need arose to evaluate project builds using new hardware to reduce execution costs, with automatic issue creation upon build failures. Leveraging GitLab CI and APIs, the process enables automatic issue generation through the Issues API, executed whenever a job fails, and employs private tokens for authentication. Subsequently, all created issues are aggregated using the Group Issues API, forming a JSON object that is stored as a pipeline artifact. This data is then transformed into a markdown report and published on a project's Wiki, offering a comprehensive overview of build failures. This automated workflow facilitates efficient testing and reporting across numerous projects, ensuring compatibility with new CPU architectures.
