service.expireCacheObject

Description

Expires a specific object from the content cache for a given service and cache key passed.

Parameters

spkey

A string representing the unique id of the service that the cache object is cached within.  You may find this in the API Settings area of the Mashery Portal Dashboard.

URL

A string representing the full URL of the cached object.  Parameter order is not important as the API will reorder the params to match the content cache store order.  In addition, if the service definition cache algorithm strips api keys from the cache key, this method will also do so if any api key is passed in the method.

HTTP Methods (optional)

An array of HTTP methods for the URL. If omitted then only URLs called via GET will be removed from cache.

Response

Boolean indicating if item was removed or not in cache otherwise an error if there was a problem with the request.

Notes

The latency between eviction command issuance and cache eviction is approximately 5-8 minutes.
