# Retrieve Data from Octane

To automatically retrieve content from Octane, 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 following parameters:

   OctaneApiUrl | The URL of the Octane API.
   ClientID | The client ID to use to access the Octane API.
   ClientSecret | The client secret to use to access the Octane API.

   For example:

       [MyTask]
       OctaneApiUrl=https://octane.example.com
       ClientID=id
       ClientSecret=secret

   TIP: You can obtain a client ID and secret from the settings page in the Octane GUI. For more information about obtaining a client ID and secret, refer to the Octane documentation.

2. (Optional) Set any parameters that you want to use for choosing the content to retrieve.

3. Save and close the configuration file. You can now start the connector.
