How can I implement caching in a Flask-RESTful API?

You can use Flask-Caching to easily add caching to your Flask-RESTful API. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Api, Resource
from flask_caching import Cache

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
cache = Cache(app, config={'CACHE_TYPE': 'simple'})

class HelloWorld(Resource):
    @cache.cached(timeout=60)
    def get(self):
        return {'hello': 'world'}

api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

What does the timeout parameter do in the caching?

The timeout parameter specifies how long the cached response will be stored before it expires, in seconds.
