Caching and freshness#

  • Fresh for about 30 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
  • Between 30 minutes and 6 hours the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
  • If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 day more (marked stale).
  • A "not found" is remembered for 5 minutes and is free.
  • The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#
