Should macrodata.get_series use cache?

[tfardet]

Is it normal that get_series does not cache results? Would it be possible to check for the periodicity of the requested data via get_series_list and only query if the last query is older than the periodicity? Unless there are really data that are updated several times a day, we could even have at least a default caching duration of one day before we query the API again (many series have annual or monthly updates and querying them everytime seems like a shame).

Hi, indeed the caching was originally thought to be used only on metadata. If you think that as a user you would appreciate to cache the quantitative data from get_series, then fine I will implement this feature as well.

If it's not too much trouble, I think it would make sense to have a small file/db telling when the data was last downloaded and update after a certain period. Either you what's the fastest update rate for data and you just set it to that for everything, or you can easily get the refresh rate for each idBank and set it per idBank to match the update rate?
