## 💰 Cost Savings
|
||||
|
||||
**Dramatic API Cost Reduction**:
|
||||
- 🎯 **70-90% cost savings** through intelligent caching
|
||||
- 📊 Cache hit ratios typically 80-95% after warm-up
|
||||
- 💸 **Property records**: $1.00 → $0.10 per request (90% savings)
|
||||
- 💸 **Value estimates**: $2.00 → $0.20 per request (90% savings)
|
||||
- 💸 **Market data**: $5.00 → $0.50 per request (90% savings)
|
||||
|
||||
**Real-world example**: A property management company reduced their monthly Rentcast bill from $2,500 to $300 using RentCache.

# API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
Complete reference documentation for all RentCache API endpoints, including Rentcast proxy endpoints and system management endpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 Overview
|
||||
|
||||
RentCache provides two types of endpoints:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Proxy Endpoints** (`/api/v1/*`) - Mirror Rentcast API endpoints with intelligent caching
|
||||
2. **System Endpoints** - Health checks, metrics, and administration
|
||||
|
||||
All endpoints support JSON responses and include cache performance headers.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔐 Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
All API endpoints require Bearer token authentication using your Rentcast API key:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_RENTCAST_API_KEY
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_1234567890abcdef" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/properties?city=Austin&state=TX"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Common Response Headers
|
||||
|
||||
All responses include performance and cache information:
|
||||
|
||||
| Header | Description | Example |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|---------|
|
||||
| `X-Cache-Hit` | Whether response was served from cache | `true` or `false` |
|
||||
| `X-Response-Time-MS` | Total response time in milliseconds | `45.2` |
|
||||
| `X-Estimated-Cost` | Estimated Rentcast API cost (cache misses only) | `2.0` |
|
||||

## 📊 Response Caching
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Headers
|
||||
|
||||
All responses include cache-related headers:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
X-Cache-Hit: true
|
||||
X-Response-Time-MS: 12.5
|
||||
X-Cache-Age: 3600
|
||||
X-Cache-TTL: 86400
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Key Generation
|
||||
|
||||
Cache keys are generated using MD5 hash of:
|
||||
- HTTP method
|
||||
- Endpoint name
|
||||
- Sorted query parameters
|
||||
- Request body (for POST requests)
|
||||
|
||||
Example: `GET:properties:{"city":"Austin","state":"TX"}` → `a1b2c3d4e5f6...`
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Invalidation
|
||||
|
||||
Cache entries can be invalidated:
|
||||
- Automatically when TTL expires
|
||||
- Manually via admin endpoints
|
||||
- Using `force_refresh=true` parameter
|
||||
- Through CLI commands
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Rate Limiting
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limit Headers
|
||||
|
||||
Rate-limited endpoints include headers:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
|
||||
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 45
|
||||
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1642248000
|
||||
X-RateLimit-Window: 60
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limit Tiers
|
||||
|
||||
| Endpoint Type | Rate Limit | Burst Allowance |
|
||||
|---------------|------------|-----------------|
|
||||
| Property Search | 60/minute | 10 requests |
|
||||
| Value Estimates | 30/minute | 5 requests |
|
||||
| Market Stats | 20/minute | 3 requests |
|
||||
| Listings | 60/minute | 10 requests |
|
||||
| Bulk Operations | 10/minute | 2 requests |
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limit Bypass
|
||||
|
||||
Cache hits do not count against rate limits, providing natural rate limit relief through caching.

## 🗄️ Database Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### SQLite (Development)
|
||||
|
||||
SQLite is the default and requires no additional setup. The database file will be created automatically on first run.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Database will be created at ./rentcache.db
|
||||
rentcache server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### PostgreSQL (Production)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install PostgreSQL**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
|
||||
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
brew install postgresql
|
||||
|
||||
# Or use Docker
|
||||
docker run -d --name postgres \
|
||||
-e POSTGRES_DB=rentcache \
|
||||
-e POSTGRES_USER=rentcache \
|
||||
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password \
|
||||
-p 5432:5432 \
|
||||
postgres:15
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create Database**:
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE DATABASE rentcache;
|
||||
CREATE USER rentcache WITH PASSWORD 'your_password';
|
||||
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE rentcache TO rentcache;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Update Configuration**:
|
||||
```env
|
||||
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://rentcache:your_password@localhost:5432/rentcache
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Redis Setup (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Redis significantly improves cache performance, especially for high-traffic applications.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install Redis**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
sudo apt-get install redis-server
|
||||
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
brew install redis
|
||||
|
||||
# Or use Docker
|
||||
docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis:7-alpine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Enable in Configuration**:
|
||||
```env
|
||||
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
|
||||
REDIS_ENABLED=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐳 Docker Installation
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Start Services**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Docker Directly
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Build Image**:
|
||||
```bash
|

docker build -t rentcache .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Run Container**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker run -d --name rentcache \
|
||||
-p 8000:8000 \
|
||||
-e DATABASE_URL=sqlite+aiosqlite:///./data/rentcache.db \
|
||||
-v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
|
||||
rentcache
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔐 Initial Setup

# Check database file permissions
|
||||
ls -la rentcache.db
|
||||
|
||||
# Check PostgreSQL connection
|
||||
psql postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/dbname
|
||||
|
||||
# Reset database
|
||||
rm rentcache.db # SQLite only
|
||||
uv run rentcache server # Will recreate tables
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Redis Connection Issues
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test Redis connection
|
||||
redis-cli ping
|
||||
|
||||
# Check Redis configuration
|
||||
redis-cli config get '*'
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable Redis temporarily
|
||||
echo "REDIS_ENABLED=false" >> .env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Port Already in Use
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Find process using port 8000
|
||||
lsof -i :8000
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill process
|
||||
kill -9 <PID>
|
||||
|
||||
# Or use different port
|
||||
uv run rentcache server --port 8001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Permission Denied
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Fix file permissions
|
||||
chmod +x $(which rentcache)
|
||||
|
||||
# Fix data directory permissions
|
||||
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View logs in development
|
||||
uv run rentcache server --log-level DEBUG
|
||||
|
||||
# Production log analysis
|
||||
tail -f /var/log/rentcache/access.log | jq '.'
|
||||
|
||||
# Filter for errors
|
||||
tail -f /var/log/rentcache/access.log | jq 'select(.level == "ERROR")'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Issues
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check cache hit ratio
|
||||
uv run rentcache stats
|
||||
|
||||
# Monitor database size
|
||||
du -h rentcache.db
|
||||
|
||||
# Check memory usage
|
||||
ps aux | grep rentcache
|
||||
|
||||
# Monitor request patterns
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | jq '.top_endpoints'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Monitoring Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Health Check Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Basic health check
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/health
|
||||
|
||||
# Detailed metrics
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Prometheus Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Add to your `prometheus.yml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
scrape_configs:
|
||||
- job_name: 'rentcache'
|
||||
static_configs:
|
||||
- targets: ['localhost:8000']
|
||||
metrics_path: /metrics
|
||||
scrape_interval: 30s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Aggregation
|
||||
|
||||
For centralized logging, configure structured JSON output:
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
LOG_FORMAT=json
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then forward logs to your preferred system (ELK, Splunk, etc.).
|
||||

# Usage Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This comprehensive guide covers how to use RentCache effectively, from basic operations to advanced configuration and optimization strategies.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start the server**
|
||||
2. **Create API keys** for your applications
|
||||
3. **Make API calls** through RentCache instead of directly to Rentcast
|
||||
4. **Monitor performance** and costs
|
||||
5. **Optimize cache settings** based on usage patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## 🖥️ Server Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Starting the Server
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Development mode (with auto-reload)
|
||||
uv run rentcache server --reload --log-level DEBUG
|
||||
|
||||
# Production mode
|
||||
uv run rentcache server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
|
||||
|
||||
# Custom configuration
|
||||
uv run rentcache server \
|
||||
--host 0.0.0.0 \
|
||||
--port 8080 \
|
||||
--log-level INFO
|
||||
|
||||
# Using uvicorn directly
|
||||
uv run uvicorn rentcache.server:app --reload --port 8000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Server Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Description | Default |

|
||||
| `--port` | Port number | `8000` |
|
||||
| `--reload` | Auto-reload on code changes | `false` |
|
||||
| `--log-level` | Logging level | `info` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Stopping the Server
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Graceful shutdown (Ctrl+C or)
|
||||
kill -TERM <pid>
|
||||
|
||||
# Force shutdown
|
||||
kill -KILL <pid>
|
||||
|
||||
# Using systemd
|

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔑 API Key Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating API Keys
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Basic API key creation
|
||||
uv run rentcache create-key my_app YOUR_RENTCAST_API_KEY
|
||||
|
||||
# With custom limits and expiration
|
||||
uv run rentcache create-key production_app YOUR_RENTCAST_API_KEY \
|
||||
--daily-limit 5000 \
|
||||
--monthly-limit 100000 \
|
||||
--expires 2024-12-31
|
||||
|
||||
# Development key with higher limits
|
||||
uv run rentcache create-key dev_app YOUR_RENTCAST_API_KEY \
|
||||
--daily-limit 10000 \
|
||||
--monthly-limit 200000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Listing API Keys
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌐 Making API Calls
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Request Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `api.rentcast.io` with your RentCache server URL and add your API key to the Authorization header:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Direct to Rentcast (what you were doing before)
|
||||
curl -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_RENTCAST_KEY" \
|
||||
"https://api.rentcast.io/v1/properties?city=Austin&state=TX"
|
||||
|
||||
# Through RentCache (what you should do now)
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_RENTCAST_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/properties?city=Austin&state=TX"
|
||||
```

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚡ Cache Control
|
||||
|
||||
### Understanding Cache Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
RentCache uses intelligent caching with different TTL (Time To Live) values based on data volatility:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Property Records**: 24 hours (expensive, relatively stable)
|
||||
- **Value/Rent Estimates**: 1 hour (expensive, moderately dynamic)
|
||||
- **Listings**: 30 minutes (frequently updated)
|
||||
- **Market Stats**: 2 hours (aggregated data, slower to change)
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Control Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
#### Force Refresh
|
||||
|
||||
Force a fresh API call even if cached data exists:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/properties?city=Austin&state=TX&force_refresh=true"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Override TTL
|
||||
|
||||
Set custom cache duration (in seconds):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Cache for 2 hours (7200 seconds)
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/estimates/value?address=123%20Main%20St&ttl_override=7200"
|
||||
|
||||
# Cache for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/listings/sale?city=Austin&ttl_override=600"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reading Response Headers
|
||||
|
||||
Every response includes cache information:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -I -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/properties?city=Austin&state=TX"
|
||||
|
||||
# Response headers include:
|
||||
# X-Cache-Hit: true
|
||||
# X-Response-Time-MS: 12.5
|
||||
# X-Estimated-Cost: 0.0 (cache hits cost nothing!)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Management CLI
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View cache statistics
|
||||
uv run rentcache stats
|
||||
|
||||
# Clear specific endpoint cache
|
||||
uv run rentcache clear-cache --endpoint properties
|
||||
|
||||
# Clear cache older than 24 hours
|
||||
uv run rentcache clear-cache --older-than 24
|
||||
|
||||
# Clear all cache (use with caution!)
|
||||
uv run rentcache clear-cache
|
||||
```

|
||||
uv run rentcache health
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected output when healthy:
|
||||
# ✅ Database: Connected
|
||||
# 🔑 Active API Keys: 3
|
||||
# 💾 Valid Cache Entries: 1234
|
||||
# 📈 Requests (24h): 456

|
||||
|
||||
### Real-time Metrics via HTTP
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get detailed system metrics
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | jq '.'
|
||||
|
||||
# Key metrics to monitor:
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | jq '{
|
||||
cache_hit_ratio: .cache_hit_ratio,
|
||||
avg_response_time: .avg_response_time_ms,
|
||||
requests_24h: .requests_24h,
|
||||
cost_24h: .cost_24h
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 💰 Cost Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Understanding Costs
|
||||
|
||||
RentCache tracks estimated costs for different endpoint types:
|
||||
|
||||
| Endpoint Type | Estimated Cost | Cache TTL | Typical Savings |
|
||||
|---------------|----------------|-----------|-----------------|
|
||||
| Property Records | $1.00 | 24 hours | 90% |
|
||||
| Value Estimates | $2.00 | 1 hour | 85% |
|
||||
| Rent Estimates | $2.00 | 1 hour | 85% |
|
||||
| Market Stats | $5.00 | 2 hours | 95% |
|
||||
| Listings | $0.50 | 30 minutes | 70% |
|
||||
| Comparables | $3.00 | 1 hour | 88% |
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring Costs
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View cost breakdown
|
||||
uv run rentcache stats | grep -A 5 "Cost"
|
||||
|
||||
# Daily cost tracking
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | jq '.cost_24h'
|
||||
|
||||
# Calculate savings
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | jq '
|
||||
.total_requests as $total |
|
||||
.cache_hits as $hits |
|
||||
($hits / $total * 100) as $hit_ratio |
|
||||
"Cache Hit Ratio: \($hit_ratio)%"
|
||||
'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cost Optimization Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Increase Cache TTL for Stable Data**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Cache property records for 48 hours instead of 24
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/properties?address=123%20Main%20St&ttl_override=172800"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Batch Related Requests**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Instead of multiple individual requests, search broader then filter locally
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/properties?zipCode=78701&limit=100"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Use Appropriate Endpoints**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Use less expensive listing searches when you don't need full property records
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8000/api/v1/listings/sale?city=Austin&state=TX"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Advanced Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment-Based Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Create different configuration files for different environments:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Development (`.env.dev`)
|
||||
```env
|
||||
DEBUG=true
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
|
||||
DATABASE_URL=sqlite+aiosqlite:///./dev_rentcache.db
|
||||
DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL=1800 # 30 minutes for faster testing
|
||||
CORS_ORIGINS=http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Staging (`.env.staging`)
|
||||
```env
|
||||
DEBUG=false
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
|
||||
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@staging-db:5432/rentcache
|
||||
REDIS_ENABLED=true
|
||||
REDIS_URL=redis://staging-redis:6379
|
||||
DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL=3600
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Production (`.env.prod`)
|
||||
```env
|
||||
DEBUG=false
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=WARNING
|
||||
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@prod-db:5432/rentcache
|
||||
REDIS_ENABLED=true
|
||||
REDIS_URL=redis://prod-redis:6379
|
||||
DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL=7200
|
||||
EXPENSIVE_ENDPOINTS_TTL=172800
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limiting Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
#### Global Rate Limits
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
# Requests per API key per time period
|
||||
GLOBAL_RATE_LIMIT=2000/hour
|
||||
DAILY_RATE_LIMIT=10000/day
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Per-Endpoint Rate Limits
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
# Expensive endpoints get lower limits
|
||||
VALUE_ESTIMATE_RATE_LIMIT=30/minute
|
||||
RENT_ESTIMATE_RATE_LIMIT=30/minute
|
||||
MARKET_STATS_RATE_LIMIT=20/minute
|
||||
|
||||
# Cheaper endpoints can have higher limits
|
||||
LISTINGS_RATE_LIMIT=100/minute
|
||||
PROPERTIES_RATE_LIMIT=60/minute
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Cache Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
#### Endpoint-Specific TTL Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Example: Custom cache configuration
|
||||
CUSTOM_CACHE_TTL = {
|
||||
"properties": 86400, # 24 hours
|
||||
"value_estimate": 3600, # 1 hour
|
||||
"rent_estimate": 3600, # 1 hour
|
||||
"listings_sale": 1800, # 30 minutes
|
||||
"listings_rental": 1800, # 30 minutes
|
||||
"market_stats": 7200, # 2 hours
|
||||
"comparables": 3600 # 1 hour
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues and Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cache Miss Rate Too High
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Low cache hit ratio (< 60%)
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Check if `force_refresh=true` is being used too often
|
||||
2. Verify TTL settings aren't too short
|
||||
3. Check if requests have slight parameter variations
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Analyze request patterns
|
||||
uv run rentcache stats --endpoint properties | grep "Total Requests"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for parameter variations
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | jq '.top_endpoints'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### High Response Times
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Slow API responses
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Enable Redis for faster cache access
|
||||
2. Check database performance
|
||||
3. Monitor upstream Rentcast API performance
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check average response times
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | jq '.avg_response_time_ms'
|
||||
|
||||
# Monitor cache hit ratio
|
||||
uv run rentcache stats | grep "Hit Ratio"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rate Limit Exceeded
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Getting 429 errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Check current usage against limits
|
||||
2. Increase limits if needed
|
||||
3. Implement request queuing in your application
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check current usage
|
||||
uv run rentcache list-keys
|
||||
|
||||
# Update limits
|
||||
uv run rentcache update-key my_app --daily-limit 10000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Database Errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Database connection or performance issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Check database connectivity
|
||||
2. Monitor database size and performance
|
||||
3. Consider migrating from SQLite to PostgreSQL
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check database health
|
||||
uv run rentcache health
|
||||
|
||||
# Check database size
|
||||
du -h rentcache.db
|
||||
|
||||
# Clear old cache entries
|
||||
uv run rentcache clear-cache --older-than 168 # 7 days
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Debug Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start server with debug logging
|
||||
uv run rentcache server --log-level DEBUG
|
||||
|
||||
# Check logs for specific requests
|
||||
tail -f /var/log/rentcache.log | grep "ERROR\|WARNING"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Monitor request patterns

## 🔄 Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Request Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Consistent Parameter Formatting**: Keep parameter formats consistent to maximize cache hits
|
||||
2. **Appropriate Pagination**: Don't request more data than needed
|
||||
3. **Smart Caching**: Use longer TTLs for stable data like property records
|
||||
4. **Batch Operations**: Group related requests when possible
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Monitor Hit Ratios**: Aim for 80%+ cache hit ratios
|
||||
2. **Adjust TTLs**: Balance freshness vs. cost savings
|
||||
3. **Regular Cleanup**: Clean old cache entries periodically
|
||||
4. **Use Redis**: Enable Redis for high-traffic applications
|
||||
|
||||
### Security
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Rotate API Keys**: Regularly rotate Rentcast API keys
|
||||
2. **Monitor Usage**: Watch for unusual usage patterns
|
||||
3. **Set Appropriate Limits**: Don't set limits too high
|
||||
4. **Use HTTPS**: Always use HTTPS in production
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Set Up Alerts**: Alert on high error rates or low cache hit ratios
|
||||
2. **Regular Health Checks**: Monitor the `/health` endpoint
|
||||
3. **Cost Tracking**: Monitor daily/monthly costs
|
||||
4. **Performance Metrics**: Track response times and throughput
