Get value from cache

  • Чланак

APPLIES TO: All API Management tiers

Use the cache-lookup-value policy to perform cache lookup by key and return a cached value. The key can have an arbitrary string value and is typically provided using a policy expression.

Note

This policy must have a corresponding Store value in cache policy.

Important

Built-in cache is volatile and is shared by all units in the same region in the same API Management service.

Note

Set the policy's elements and child elements in the order provided in the policy statement. Learn more about how to set or edit API Management policies.
