# Retrieve Information from an RSS Feed

To automatically retrieve content from an RSS feed, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.

3. In the `[FetchTasks]` section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the `Number` parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type `Number=1`. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the `Number` parameter by one (1). Below the `Number` parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

4. Below the `[FetchTasks]` section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

       [MyTask]

1. In the new section, set the `RSSFeedN` parameter:

   `RSSFeedN` | The URL of the feed from which to fetch data.

2. (Optional) If the connector is installed on a machine that is behind a proxy server, you might need to set the parameters `ProxyHost` and `ProxyPort` so that the connector can access the feed.

3. Save and close the configuration file.

   You can now start the connector.
