 * Hi,
 * I would like to use the JSON option to create a table from an API source.
    The
   table is created correctly, but from what I understand, every time a user loads
   the page where the table is a new API request is made to auto-update the table,
   this has 2 big issues, first the API I’m using to fetch data has limits for calls,
   so if too many users come to the page those limits will be reached, secondly,
   it makes a huge impact on server resources to update from API on every page load.
 * Is there some way to limit the update (like 1x per day, 1x per hour, etc…) and
   use the last updated values from the table to all users that load the page?
 * This would be perfect.
