httpcache

💾 Cache HTTP request easily from public API - https://cache.smiti.fr

Goal

HttpCache is a http wrapper that allows you to cache http request easily without configuration. It can be very useful for cache public API request on a static website for example, not needed anymore to develop and deploy a http proxy to do this job.

Usage

you just need to add https://cache.smiti.fr/{exp_in_minute}/ before the url of the service you want cache, that's it ! You can see an example below :

https://cache.smiti.fr/1280/https://api.github.com/users/ermos/repos?sort=created&per_page=4&page=1&desc

Use cases

Cache request across users

Without HTTPCache.me

When you use a public API directly in your website, the request is made from the user's client, if the public API send cache header, the user's client will save it. Now, if a second user come on your website, he will send a new request and store it into his client. Each request need working server side and can cost time.

With HTTPCache.me

When a user come to your website, the request is made from the user's client, httpcache will save the result in memory and when the second user will come on your website, the result will directly returned without communicate with the public API.
