Hi,



Is there a way to determine if data retrieval is from cache from get_look API, https://docs.looker.com/reference/api-and-integration/api-reference/v3.1/look#get_look?



Thanks,

Hi @dj200



For a Look/Explore you can see details in the top right corner:

I don’t believe we can see that in the Dashboards

Thanks, @Dawid_Nawrot. It seems, I can only access cache status from UI, but not from API, correct?

If you use the json_detail result_format, you should get back some cache related parameters (like from_cache) that tell you if the results were cached and if so, how old they are.
