How to configure Xano’s response caching strategies?

Step 1: Log into Xano

First things first, make sure you're logged into your Xano account. Just head over to the Xano website and punch in your credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to Your API Endpoint

Next, find the API endpoint you want to tweak. You can do this by selecting it from your list of endpoints in your Xano workspace.

Step 3: Access Caching Settings

Once you're in the right endpoint, look for the 'Settings' tab. It's usually in the detailed view of the endpoint. Click on it to see all the configuration options.

Step 4: Enable Response Caching

In the 'Settings' section, you'll see an option for 'Response Caching'. Turn it on by toggling the switch or checking the box. This will enable caching for that endpoint.

Step 5: Set Cache Duration

Now that caching is enabled, you need to set the cache duration. This is the time (in seconds) that the response will be cached. It tells the system how long to store the cached response before a new request triggers a fresh server response.

Step 6: Define Cache Key Strategy

Next up, configure the cache key strategy. This ensures that the cached responses are uniquely identifiable. Usually, this involves selecting parameters or headers that will be used to differentiate between various requests.

Step 7: Save Changes

After setting the cache duration and cache key strategy, don't forget to save your changes. You can usually find the ‘Save’ button at the bottom or top of the settings page.

Step 8: Test Your Configuration

Time to test! Perform a few test requests to make sure the caching works as expected. Check that repeated requests within the cache duration return the cached response instead of querying the server.

Step 9: Monitor Caching Performance

Finally, keep an eye on the performance of your caching strategy. Check any logs or analytics provided by Xano. This helps you spot any issues or areas for improvement.
