Summary

BaseCache([secret_key, salt, serializer])

A wrapper for lower-level cache storage operations.

CacheBackend([cache_name, expire_after, …])

Base class for cache backends; includes a non-persistent, in-memory cache.

DictCache([secret_key, salt, serializer])

Module Contents

class BaseCache(secret_key=None, salt=b'aiohttp-client-cache', serializer=None, **kwargs)

Bases: object

A wrapper for lower-level cache storage operations. This is separate from CacheBackend to allow a single backend to contain multiple cache objects.

_abc_impl = <_abc_data object>
static _get_serializer(secret_key, salt)

Get the appropriate serializer to use; either itsdangerous, if a secret key is specified, or plain pickle otherwise. :raises py:exc:ImportError if secret_key is specified but itsdangerous is not installed:

abstract async write(key, item)

Parameters
class CacheBackend(cache_name='aiohttp-cache', expire_after=-1, urls_expire_after=None, allowed_codes=(200, ), allowed_methods=('GET', 'HEAD'), include_headers=False, ignored_params=None, filter_fn=<function CacheBackend.<lambda>>, **kwargs)

Bases: object

Base class for cache backends; includes a non-persistent, in-memory cache.

This manages higher-level cache operations, including cache expiration, generating cache keys, and managing redirect history.

Lower-level storage operations are handled by BaseCache. To extend this with your own custom backend, implement one or more subclasses of BaseCache to use as CacheBackend.responses and CacheBackend.response_aliases.

__init__(cache_name='aiohttp-cache', expire_after=-1, urls_expire_after=None, allowed_codes=(200, ), allowed_methods=('GET', 'HEAD'), include_headers=False, ignored_params=None, filter_fn=<function CacheBackend.<lambda>>, **kwargs)
Parameters
  • cache_name (str) – Cache prefix or namespace, depending on backend

  • expire_after (Union[None, int, float, datetime, timedelta]) – Time after which a cache entry will be expired. For numeric values, specify either a positive value in seconds, or -1 to never expire.

  • urls_expire_after (Optional[Dict[str, Union[None, int, float, datetime, timedelta]]]) – Expiration times to apply for different URL patterns

  • allowed_codes (tuple) – Only cache responses with these status codes

  • allowed_methods (tuple) – Only cache requests with these HTTP methods

  • include_headers (bool) – Cache requests with different headers separately

  • ignored_params (Optional[Iterable]) – Request parameters to be excluded from the cache key

  • filter_fn (Callable) – function that takes a aiohttp.ClientResponse object and returns a boolean indicating whether or not that response should be cached. Will be applied to both new and previously cached responses

  • secret_key (Union[Iterable, str, bytes]) – Optional secret key used to sign cache items for added security

  • salt (Union[str, bytes]) – Optional salt used to sign cache items

  • serializer – Custom serializer that provides loads and dumps methods

_get_expiration(response, request_expire_after=None)

Get the appropriate expiration for the given response

Return type

Optional[CachedResponse]

Parameters

key (str) –

async delete(key)

Parameters

key (str) –

async delete_expired_responses()

Deletes all expired responses from the cache. Also deletes any cache items that are filtered out according to filter_fn().

async delete_url(url)

Delete cached response associated with url, along with its history (if applicable). Works only for GET requests.

Parameters

url (Union[str, yarl.URL]) –

async get_response(key)

Retrieve response and timestamp for key if it’s stored in cache, otherwise returns None`

Parameters

key (str) – key of resource

Return type

Optional[CachedResponse]

async save_response(key, response, expire_after=None)

Save response to cache

Parameters
