requests-cache is a persistent HTTP cache that provides an easy way to get better performance with the Python requests library. Keep using the requests library you’re already familiar with. Add caching with a drop-in replacement for requests. The session, or install globally to add transparent caching to all request functions. Get sub-millisecond response times for cached responses. When they expire, you still save time with conditional requests. Works with several storage backends including SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, and DynamoDB; or save responses as plain JSON files, YAML, and more. Use Cache-Control and other standard HTTP headers, define your own expiration schedule, and keep your cache clutter-free with backends that natively support TTL or any combination of strategies. Works out of the box with zero config, but with a robust set of features for configuring and extending the library to suit your needs.
