Introduction

fastapi-cache is a tool to cache fastapi response and function result, with backends support redis, memcache, and dynamodb.

Features

  • Support redis, memcache, dynamodb, and in-memory backends.
  • Easily integration with fastapi.
  • Support http cache like ETag and Cache-Control.

Requirements

  • asyncio environment.
  • redis if use RedisBackend.
  • memcache if use MemcacheBackend.
  • aiobotocore if use DynamoBackend.

Install

> pip install fastapi-cache2

or

> pip install "fastapi-cache2[redis]"

or

> pip install "fastapi-cache2[memcache]"

or

> pip install "fastapi-cache2[dynamodb]"

Usage

Quick Start

import aioredis
from fastapi import FastAPI
from starlette.requests import Request
from starlette.responses import Response

from fastapi_cache import FastAPICache
from fastapi_cache.backends.redis import RedisBackend
from fastapi_cache.decorator import cache

app = FastAPI()


@cache()
async def get_cache():
    return 1


@app.get("/")
@cache(expire=60)
async def index(request: Request, response: Response):
    return dict(hello="world")


@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
    redis =  aioredis.from_url("redis://localhost", encoding="utf8", decode_responses=True)
    FastAPICache.init(RedisBackend(redis), prefix="fastapi-cache")

Initialization

Firstly you must call FastAPICache.init on startup event of fastapi, there are some global config you can pass in.

Use cache decorator

If you want cache fastapi response transparently, you can use cache as decorator between router decorator and view function and must pass request as param of view function.

Parameter type, description
expire int, states a caching time in seconds
namespace str, namespace to use to store certain cache items
coder which coder to use, e.g. JsonCoder
key_builder which key builder to use, default to builtin

And if you want use ETag and Cache-Control features, you must pass response param also.

You can also use cache as decorator like other cache tools to cache common function result.

Custom coder

By default use JsonCoder, you can write custom coder to encode and decode cache result, just need inherit fastapi_cache.coder.Coder.

@app.get("/")
@cache(expire=60,coder=JsonCoder)
async def index(request: Request, response: Response):
    return dict(hello="world")

Custom key builder

By default use builtin key builder, if you need, you can override this and pass in cache or FastAPICache.init to take effect globally.

def my_key_builder(
    func,
    namespace: Optional[str] = "",
    request: Request = None,
    response: Response = None,
    *args,
    **kwargs,
):
    prefix = FastAPICache.get_prefix()
    cache_key = f"{prefix}:{namespace}:{func.__module__}:{func.__name__}:{args}:{kwargs}"
    return cache_key

@app.get("/")
@cache(expire=60,coder=JsonCoder,key_builder=my_key_builder)
async def index(request: Request, response: Response):
    return dict(hello="world")

InMemoryBackend

InMemoryBackend store cache data in memory and use lazy delete, which mean if you don't access it after cached, it will not delete automatically.

    [question] how to cache 200 http responses only?

    I'm not sure how to discard 500 and 400 errors from cache using InMemoryBackend. My usecase depends on an external provider, but I want to cache only success responses. If the provider fails I want to keep asking for the data. I tried to inject 'no-cache' header but request headers are inmutable.

    fastapi-cache 0.1.4: TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing

    Hi,

    I updated fastapi-cache using Github to solve the problem of "not JSON serializable", but now I have a new error:

      File "/lib/python3.9/site-packages/fastapi_cache/decorator.py", line 40, in inner
        cache_key = key_builder(

        + hashlib.md5(  # nosec:B303
    TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing
    

    Before (with version 1.3.4) I was using something like this bellow, but with the two lines commented and returning the json_updated_user:

    @router.get("/me/items/", response_model=List[schemas.User_Pydantic])
    @cache(namespace="test", expire=60, coder=JsonCoder)
    async def read_current_user_items(user: UserDB = Depends(fastapi_users.get_current_active_user)):
        user_cards = await schemas.Card_Pydantic.from_queryset(
            Card.filter(owner_id=user.id).all())
        for city in user_cards:
            await weather_api.get_api_info_by_id(city.id)
        # user_with_items = await schemas.User_Pydantic.from_queryset(UserModel.filter(id=user.id).all())
        # json_updated_user = jsonable_encoder(user_with_items)
        return await schemas.User_Pydantic.from_queryset(UserModel.filter(id=user.id).all())
    

    Without jsonable_encoder I get the error "not JSON serializable", but now I have the hash error. If I comment the @cache decorator, it works fine (and I don't need the jsonable_encoder).

    Thanks in advance!

  • Default key builder does not work with memcached

    Default key builder does not work with memcached

    Memcached does not allow spaces in keys. Thus when using the default key builder with endpoint that has dependencies, a space can be introduced when object is being represented as string. Problem example:

    @router.get("/",
                 status_code=200,
                 response_model=list)
    async def distinct_values(field: str,
                                  es: Elasticsearch = Depends(ElasticConnector)):
    

    This result in ValidationError

    Proposed solution:

    def mcache_key_builder(
        func,
        namespace: Optional[str] = "",
        request: Request = None,
        response: Response = None,
        *args,
        **kwargs,
    ):
        prefix = FastAPICache.get_prefix()
        cache_key = f"{prefix}:{namespace}:{func.__module__}:{func.__name__}:{args}:{kwargs}".replace(" ","")
        return cache_key

  • Transparent passthrough in the event of cache backend connection issues

    Transparent passthrough in the event of cache backend connection issues

    Currently if using the cache decorator on a function with a FastAPI path operation decorator, if there are any connection issues to a backend (e.g. Redis) an unhandled exception from the backend will cause a HTTP 500 - meaning cache backend uptime becomes a requirement for API functionality. This PR sets a better default - if cache backend connectivity fails, pass the request through as you would if the decorator isn't there (reimplementation of #14)

    @long2ice @mkdir700 could you have a look please? Hopefully a quick merge for you but this failure mode is a big blocker for me to use and evangelise this library more widely. As per #99 a new release would be awesome too!

    when request is present, cache is disabled

    Due to this line: https://github.com/long2ice/fastapi-cache/blob/8f0920d0d7f0a34bfb8987736cf794be5e3cc33f/fastapi_cache/decorator.py#L128

    When request is present, cache is disabled. Why do we do so? Isn't it quite normal if user want to customize key builder that takes in request object?

    I can create a pr to fix this but just wondering why the design is so in the first place.
