# Retrieve Information from a Weibo User

To retrieve information from Weibo, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs fetch tasks 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=Weibo

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=Weibo

       [Weibo]

5. In the new section, ensure that you have set the parameters required to authenticate with Weibo. The OAuth configuration tool (described in Configure OAuth Authentication) creates a file that contains these parameters, and you can include them in the connector's configuration file using the following syntax:

       [Weibo] < "oauth.cfg" [OAUTH]

   For more information about including parameters from another file, see Include an External Configuration File

6. In the new section, set the following configuration parameters:

   `ProxyHost` | The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use to access Weibo.
   `ProxyPort` | The port of the proxy server to use to access Weibo.
   `LuaConfigureScript` | The name of the Lua script to use to retrieve information. Set this parameter to `configure_weibo.lua`.
   `User` | The user name of the account that you want to retrieve information from.

7. Save and close the configuration file.

   You can now start the connector.
