# Live URL fetch

> Fetches the latest content from any URL in real time, optionally using parameters such as an order ID or tracking number to build the URL dynamically.

Live URL fetch accesses public websites in real-time to retrieve
information. URLs can include dynamic parameters for specific orders, deliveries, or users.

*Example:* Tracking information on the DPD website given a tracking number.

* **Best for:** Sites with predictable URL structures where you need to pass
  dynamic values like order IDs, tracking numbers, or search terms.
* **Recommendation:** Only use this method if you need dynamic parameters or the
  latest information. If the URL is static, **Import website** is usually a
  better choice.
