How to store rest API JSON response in cache in ServiceNow

[dgarad]

We have a requirement to update the cards on portal, for that we are using count. We get the daily visited count for the cards from external source. Our requirement is to update the cards based on the count that we received.

We have one approach - creating custom table, for storing this count. We created cards records in that table and daily we are just updating the count in that table.

But our seniors are not agreed for custom table.

Instead of custom table. They suggested us to use utility to store the data in cache. And use the data in widget.

How to to build the utility for cache?

you can store data into window's session:

sessionStorage.setItem("Data", response_from_API_call); // storing data into the session
var data = sessionStorage.getItem("Data"); //getting data from the session

Can you take a look below thread, I have answered same type question earlier!

@dgarad 

for server side script please use:

for storing:

var session = gs.getSession();
session.putClientData('data', "your data"); //!!!! IMPORTANT need to pass string

for getting:

var session = gs.getSession();
session.getClientData('data');
