How to cache Django Rest Framework API calls?

Ok, so, in order to use caching for your queryset:

class ProductListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView):    def get_queryset(self):        return get_myobj()    serializer_class = ProductSerializer

You'd probably want to set a timeout on the cache set though (like 60 seconds):

cache.set(cache_key, result, 60)

If you want to cache the whole view:

from django.utils.decorators import method_decoratorfrom django.views.decorators.cache import cache_pageclass ProductListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView):    serializer_class = ProductSerializer    @method_decorator(cache_page(60))    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):        return super(ProductListAPIView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

I just implemented this to use on my serializers

def cache_me(cache):    def true_decorator(f):        @wraps(f)        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):            instance = args[1]            cache_key = '%s.%s' % (instance.facility, instance.id)            logger.debug('%s cache_key: %s' % (cache, cache_key))            try:                data = caches[cache].get(cache_key)                if data is not None:                    return data            except:                pass            logger.info('did not cache')            data = f(*args, **kwargs)            try:                caches[cache].set(cache_key, data)            except:                pass            return data        return wrapper    return true_decorator

then i override the to_representation method on my serializers, so it caches the serialized output per instance.

class MyModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):    class Meta:        model = MyModel        exclude = ('is_deleted', 'facility',)    @cache_me('mymodel')    def to_representation(self, instance):       return super(MyModelSerializer, self).to_representation(instance)
