How would I gain energy from a rotating planet?

A rotating object, especially something as large as a planet or a star, has kinetic energy. However, my question is how would you go about harvesting the energy the object has from rotation to go towards other purposes such as powering several thousand space stations? I'm making a hard science fiction short story, so if we could keep it as realistic as possible that would help. Thank you in advance.
