Hey everyone,

The people from [www.onesimpleapi.com](https://onesimpleapi.com/) came up with an API that can fetch what @Lucas_Pires was needing.

They are always open to work with you to find a way to make an api that works for your use case.

Does this cache my API request?

It does.

Actually, David’s Fetch column caches the response.

@Lucas_Pires curious how you got this to work using OneSimple API. Could you explain the steps you took?

I think they haven’t launched the API yet. You can find their Slack on their website.

About how to do it, either, I can share one of my videos in Spanish about how to do it or you can browse for one of Petitto’s videos on how to do it.
