It is designed as a drop-in replacement: you instantiate CachedSession with a cache backend instead of ClientSession, and responses are automatically stored and reused according to your configuration.\n\nThe package supports multiple storage backends\u2014SQLite (file-based, no external service), Redis, MongoDB, DynamoDB, and DragonflyDB\u2014so you can choose persistence that fits your deployment model. You configure cache expiration per-URL pattern, HTTP method, status code, and request headers; responses can be set to never expire, expire after a fixed duration, or follow HTTP cache headers. It is built on the same principles as requests-cache but adapted for async/await workflows.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and solves a genuine problem for async Python applications that make repeated HTTP requests. It is particularly valuable if you are already using aiohttp and need transparent caching without rewriting your session logic. The permissive MIT license and support for multiple backends make it flexible for both development and production use."},"id":"aiohttp-client-cache","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-client-cache","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-client-cache.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp-client-cache/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiohttp-client-cache","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Persistent cache for aiohttp requests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":222186,"position":9268,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.14.3"}
