Stores a value in the cache for a set time.
class CacheService method .put()
CacheService is the Apps Script service.
.put() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Store API results for 10 minutes so repeats are instant.
- Remember expensive calculations between trigger runs.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on put. Write CacheService.put(), not CacheService.put or put by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like CacheService.put().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write CacheService.put(), not CacheService .put(), CacheService.put (), or CacheService . put().
- Wrong capitalization. Use CacheService and put, not cacheservice or put.
