Default: 60000Minimum: 1000Maximum: 60000

cache_ttlstring | integer

How long a freshly fetched URL may be served from cache. 0 skips the cache read; cache-eligible fresh results are still written with the default 7-day TTL so later non-zero-TTL callers can HIT. Safety-classified WAF husks remain live-only and are not written. Accepts Nh (hours, up to 168h), Nd (days, up to 7d), or the integer 0. Examples: 0, 48h, 2d. Invalid values receive a 422 validation_error with an actionable message.

Default: "48h"
