APIM with graphql, does the request are cached ?

Question

Hello

I would like to verify that the API Manager can't cache graphql call.

The documentation for the rest is clear : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-cache. But for graphql policy, the cache policy is disable :

Do you have any explanation on this ?

Hi Clement Fayol Thanks for reaching out. API Management only performs cache lookup for HTTP GET requests.
In the case of GraphQL, all requests are POST requests, so it's not cached.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/cache-lookup-policy#usage-notes

let me know if you have further queries.
