Can't force new api call

Need help APIs

Does anyone know if this is expected behaviour or if its a bubble bug?
In my screenshot below you can see that I am trying to display a list in a repeatinggroup. The api call is of type “data” so I am setting the data source of my “display list in rg” action as this api of type data. I inspected the network traffic and found that no api call is being made which means I can’t refresh the data in my RG.

It seems like the api call is getting cached. Since the api call doesn’t take any parameters (it is just a get request in it’s simplest form) maybe bubble is trying to be efficient and not make the call again?

I know I could switch this to an api call of type “action” but then that affects things in other places and I really want to keep this as type “data”.

If it’s a bug, I’ll submit to bubble but just hoping to save myself the time if someone knows that they will say “this is expected behaviour”.

Thanks in advance.

Expected behavior and you can find a lot of topics and solutions about that on the forum. Add an header, give it the keyname you want and dynamically use a random string or datetimestamp with sec to force Bubble to fetch new data.

Not sure why I assumed this would be a topic with little to no forum posts on it. Clearly I was wrong.

Thanks for the quick response and solution. Much appreciated
