Cache Management

The server maintains a cache in the .cache directory to minimize API requests:

• Cache entries expire after 30 days

• Cache is automatically created on first run

• Invalid or expired entries are automatically removed

Error Handling

• Rate Limiting (429): The server will return an error message if rate limited by Sensor Tower

• Invalid App IDs: Returns an error for each app ID not found

• Network Errors: Gracefully handles connection issues
