How do I cache API calls?

We support caching with our PRO Plugin . It also recognises dynamic queries and will cache these individually.

A dynamic query might be something like these:

/customer-endpoint/customer?user_id=123 /customer-endpoint/customer?user_id=4567

The PRO plugin recognises that whilst they are the same endpoint, they are different queries that need to be cached separately.

Where can I find docs?

All of our documentation can be found here .

What can I do with the API data?

The API data can be output as a JSON string, stored in a PHP variable or automatically output as HTML (using PRO plugin). You can easily format the data into tables or charts plus many other possibilities.
