When a request is made, it returns application information and caches it in the Application object itself. This is useful if you need to access this information again in a relatively short time, meaning it’s not worth making a new API request for updated data. In such cases, you can access Application.cache. 
import squarecloud as square

client = square.Client('API_KEY')

async def example():
    app = await client.app('application_id')

    # Note that, as no requests have been made, * in the cache will be None
    print(app.cache.logs)    # None
    print(app.cache.status)  # None
    print(app.cache.backup)  # None

    # Now let's make some requests
    await app.logs()
    await app.status()
    await app.backup()

    # The cache has been updated 🤯
    print(app.cache.logs)    # LogsData(...)
    print(app.cache.status)  # StatusData(...)
    print(app.cache.backup)  # BackupData(...)

​
Making requests without updating the cache

If, for some reason, you don’t want to update the cache when making a request, you can pass the update_cache=False argument. 
import squarecloud as square

client = square.Client('API_KEY')

async def example():
    app = await client.app('application_id')
    await app.status(update_cache=False)
    print(app.cache.status)  # None
If the arguments you pass to cache.update are not an instance of StatusData, LogsData, or BackupData, a SquareException error will be raised.

​
Manually clearing the cache

You can manually clear the cache using cache.clear. 
import squarecloud as square

client = square.Client('API_KEY')


async def example():
    app = await client.app('application_id')

    await app.status()
    print(app.cache.status)  # StatusData(...)
    app.cache.clear()
    print(app.cache.status)  # None

​
Manually updating the cache

You can also manually update it using the cache.update method. 
import squarecloud as square

client = square.Client('API_KEY')


async def example():
    app = await client.app('application_id')

    logs = await app.logs()
    status = await app.status()
    backup = await app.backup()

    app.cache.clear()  # Clears the cache
    app.cache.update(status, logs, backup)  # Updates the cache

    print(app.cache.logs)    # LogsData(...)
    print(app.cache.status)  # StatusData(...)
    print(app.cache.backup)  # BackupData(...)
