Retrieve data from the cache

Get Cache Value

Catalyst Cloud Scale Cache is divided into partitions or cache units called segments. Each segment stores cache items in the form of key-value pairs. Both keys and values are of type String.

You can retrieve the value of a cache item from a segment in the cache using the get_value() method. You must pass the key name as the argument and the value corresponding to that key will be returned as a response.

The segment_service reference used below is already defined in the component instance page.

         #Get cache value
data = segment_service.get_value('key')

    

A sample response is shown below :

Get Cache Object

You can retrieve the details of the cache where the key-value pair is of type dictionary. The key object is retrieved using the get() method, where the key name is passed as an argument.
