Clearing an item's cache with Seeq Data Lab

[Teddy]

Recently we have gotten several requests to clear an item's cache in Seeq with Seeq Data Lab (SDL).  

The following python script creates a function that will clear an items cache when an item's ID is given as an input. Note: this script assumes you are using SDL.

# imports
from seeq import sdk

# Setup Items API
items_api = sdk.ItemsApi(spy._login.client)

# Cache clearing function
def ItemCacheClearingTool(itemID):
    try:
        clearCache = items_api.clear_cache(id=itemID)
    except:
        print('Error clearing cache for item ' + itemID)

This function can be used in for loops or applied to columns in a dataframe to clear multiple items' caches at a time.
