Call once, use many..?

Hi Bernard,

Wat a super plugin, I love it and I think it will save me a ton of time in the future..! I downloaded the 14 day PRO trial and will very likely purchase it since it is extremely flexible.

Here’s my question. I have an URL which will give me a ton of different data, here’s the limited JSON:

{
  "error": false,
  "message": "",
  "accounts": [
    {
      "id": 68427,
      "name": "Account A",

    {
      "id": 487199,
      "name": "Account 3",
      "description": "System C",
      "accountId": 3231769,

      "withdrawals": 186399.2,
      "deposits": 245542.59,
      "interest": -694.12,
      "profit": -30160.71,
      "balance": 28982.68,
      "drawdown": 31.54,
      "equity": 26041.29,
      "equityPercent": 89.85,
      "demo": false,
      "lastUpdateDate": "07/11/2014 22:17",
      "creationDate": "02/13/2013 13:13",

      "profitFactor": 0.86,
      "pips": -3637.3,
      "invitationUrl": "",
      "server": {
        "name": "FinFx"
      }
    }
}

Here’s what I want to achieve:

I want to show the “gain” for each “accountId” on a page, say in a table. On a different part of the page, I want to show the “daily” values for each “accountId”, etc. And on yet another page, I want to show all the data belonging to each “accountId”.

So far, I think I can solve this but this would mean I would have to call the API each time for data.
Can I solve this by just calling once (per hour – cache settings), using a template (twig?) and then making calls to that template?

If we need to take this problem elsewhere, let me know 🙂

Thanks in advance!
