Where cached responses are stored

Source: R/cache.R
tg_cache_dir.Rd

Called with no argument, reports the directory in use. Called with a path, switches to it for the rest of the session.

Usage

tg_cache_dir(path = NULL)

tg_cache_pasta(path = NULL)

Arguments

path

A directory to cache responses in, or NULL to report the current one. The directory is created if it does not exist.

Value

The cache directory, invisibly when setting it.

Details

By default responses are cached in the session's temporary directory, so they are discarded when R exits. To keep them between sessions, set this to a persistent path, for example tg_cache_dir(tools::R_user_dir("transferegovr", "cache")), or set the TRANSFEREGOVR_CACHE_DIR environment variable in your .Renviron.

Caching is controlled by the transferegovr.cache option (TRUE by default) and entries expire after transferegovr.cache_ttl seconds (3600 by default). The data behind these APIs is refreshed daily.
