# Update Data in Cache

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/cache/update-cache/) now.

You can update the key-value pair in a cache segment using the `update()` method. You must pass the
key name and key-value which are of the String type as arguments. If the values aren't present, they will be inserted
into the cache segment. The promise returned here will be resolved to a JSON object.

You can also optionally pass the expiry time parameter. If you don't assign a value for that, the expiry time will be
set to 48 hours by default.

The `segment` reference used in the code snippet below is the [segment instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/nodejs/v2/cloud-scale/cache/get-segment-instance) created earlier.

```javascript
//Update cache by passing the key-value pair 
let cache = app.cache(); 
let segment = cache.segment(); 
let cachePromise = segment.update('Name', 'Micheal Greene'); 
cachePromise.then((entity) => { console.log(entity); });
```

A sample response that you will receive for each version is shown below:

**Node JS**

```

    {
    cache_name: "Last_Name",
    cache_value: "Brown",
    project_details: { project_name: "AlienCity", id: "2136000000007733" },
    segment_details: { segment_name: "DataStore", id: "2136000000008572" },
    expires_in: "Aug 18, 2021 06:46 PM",
    expiry_in_hours: "47",
    ttl_in_milliseconds: "172596000"
    }

    {
    cache_name: "Last_Name",
    cache_value: "Brown",
    project_details: { project_name: "AlienCity", id: 2136000000007733 },
    segment_details: { segment_name: "DataStore", id: 2136000000008572 },
    expires_in: "Aug 18, 2021 06:46 PM",
    expiry_in_hours: 47,
    ttl_in_milliseconds: 172511000
    }

```
