How to cache pages with API data

[net-tt]

I have a site that is showing static data from an external server via APIs. Is there a way to cache those pages so I can improve the speed of the page? I don’t tthink WUReducer would work because the data is retrieved from API and not Bubble DB. Would Cloudfare work in this situation?

Maybe this would work for you

How can I cache an API call?

A thing in your database can have a field with the same type as your API thing, so you could store it in your database along with a Date field when it expires. Then on your page search for the latest thing in your database, if its date is within valid period display that API data on page, if not then make the new API call and store that in the database along with the new date

The external DB is pretty big, so I am not duplicating the data in my Bubble DB. Otherwise WUReducer can do the Bubble data caching and WU reduction.
