Frequently Asked Questions

Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

How do I authenticate with Gitlab?

The GitLab connector supports Personal Access Token authentication (via GitlabPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig) and OAuth2 authentication. In hosted mode, credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud using AirbyteAuthConfig.

Can I use this connector with any AI agent framework?

The connector is compatible with any Python-based AI agent framework including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, and custom implementations.

Does this connector support write operations?

Currently, the GitLab connector focuses on read operations only. Write operations such as creating projects, deleting issues, merging merge requests, or triggering pipelines are not supported at this time.

How is this different from the Airbyte data connector?

Agent connectors are specifically designed for AI agents and LLM applications. They provide natural language interfaces, optimized response formats, and seamless integration with agent frameworks, unlike traditional ETL-focused connectors.
