Fetch data

Congratulations! You're now ready to put Laika to work to start fetching data on your behalf.

Step 5.1. Fetch data manually

From within Laika's installation folder, run:

php ./fetch.php [pack-member-domain-name] [date]
Parameter Description
pack-member-domain-name The name of the pack member to fetch data for. This should match the exact hostname that the Laika dashboard will be displayed on, as well as the folder within the /pack-members/ folder containing the credentials files.
date A time period to fetch data for, expressed as YYYY-MM-DD. To fetch data for April 2016, use 2016-04-01.
  • date must always be supplied as YYYY-MM-DD format, even though the day of the month it isn't used (Laika fetches data for whole months).
  • date cannot be in the future.

Step 5.2. Automate data fetching

Laika fetch operations could be launched from a cron job to completely automate data fetching. However, manual data items, if required by the environment, will still need to be added to the database through other means.
