This backend stores responses in files on the local filesystem (one file per response).
File Formats
^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default, responses are saved as pickle files, since this format is generally the fastest. If you
want to save responses in a human-readable format, you can use one of the other available
:ref:`serializers`. For example, to save responses as JSON files:
>>> session = CachedSession('~/http_cache', backend='filesystem', serializer='json')
>>> session.get('https://httpbin.org/get')
>>> print(list(session.cache.paths()))
['/home/user/http_cache/4dc151d95200ec.json']
Or as YAML (requires ``pyyaml``):
>>> session = CachedSession('~/http_cache', backend='filesystem', serializer='yaml')
>>> session.get('https://httpbin.org/get')
>>> print(list(session.cache.paths()))
['/home/user/http_cache/4dc151d95200ec.yaml']
Cache Files
^^^^^^^^^^^
* See :ref:`files` for general info on specifying cache paths
* The path for a given response will be in the format ``<cache_name>/<cache_key>``
* Redirects are stored in a separate SQLite database, located at ``<cache_name>/redirects.sqlite``
* Use :py:meth:`.FileCache.paths` to get a list of all cached response paths
