python-aiohttpHow to use cache with Python Aiohttp?

Using cache with Python Aiohttp is easy and straightforward.

import aiohttp
from aiohttp_cache import Cache

cache = Cache(ttl=60)

async with aiohttp.ClientSession(cache=cache) as session:
    async with session.get('http://example.com') as response:
        print(await response.text())

The output of the above code will be the text content of the page http://example.com.

Code explanation

1. import aiohttp: This imports the aiohttp library.
2. from aiohttp_cache import Cache: This imports the Cache class from the aiohttp_cache library.
3. cache = Cache(ttl=60): This creates a Cache object with a time-to-live (ttl) of 60 seconds.
4. async with aiohttp.ClientSession(cache=cache) as session: This creates an aiohttp ClientSession object with the cache object created in the previous step.
5. async with session.get('http://example.com') as response: This makes a GET request to the URL http://example.com and stores the response in the response variable.
6. print(await response.text()): This prints the text content of the response.
