Cloud Cache BETA

Simple, fully managed data cache

Efficiently consume messages on IEX Cloud, without having to set up your own data storage infrastructure.

Get started

We're here to help you scale

Fully Managed

No servers to manage. No databases to purchase. Cloud Cache automates data storage, scaling, high availability, monitoring, and administration.

Move Faster

We manage the complexity of data infrastructure so you can focus on building for your users, rather than spending time on server setup or optimizing your message usage.

Flexibility

Choose the right cache size to fit your cost and data requirements.

How it works

You can use Cloud Cache on any API call by passing the query parameter cache=true . If the associated URL is found in the Cache, results will be returned from the Cache. If the associated URL is not found in the Cache, it will pull data from the Cloud API and store the results in an unused Cache slot (if available). If the underlying data is different than what is in the cache, we will update the cache and return the latest data.
Each unique URL takes up one cache slot. It is case insensitive and order of parameters does not matter.
Each cache slot has a customizable expiration timeframe ("Time To Live"/TTL). The default is 24 hours for most endpoints unless otherwise specified in the documentation.
Full message amount is charged only when data is not available in Cloud Cache or the data has changed, and so is fetched from the Cloud API. Each request that is available in Cloud Cache applies a message weight of 1 for each unit, as opposed to the per unit weighting shown in our documentation under the "Data Weighting" header for an endpoint.
Batch queries count as 1 cache slot per symbol + type combination.
