# Refetching Refetching is a function through which, after content is invalidated via a PURGE, you force the object to be requested again from the content-invalidation agent running on the CDN nodes. That way, when a real user request comes in, that object will already be in the cache and you won’t have to go get it from the origin. You can do a refetch via[ API](https://api.transparentcdn.com/docs) or from our[ dashboard](https://dashboard.transparentcdn.com/), as explained in this[ link](https://docs.transparentedge.eu/getting-started/dashboard/invalidando-contenido). {% hint style="warning" %} The BAN invalidation method is not compatible with refetching. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.transparentedge.eu/getting-started/faq/features/refetching.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
