Hi all!

I am writing an exporter that pulls stats from a remote API to which I need 
to limit my requests -- ideally to no more than like 100-200 per day. Which 
of these is my best option for keeping the number of requests low?

   1. Exporter queries the remote API at each scrape but I increase scrape 
   interval for this target. Can it practically be longer than 2 minutes these 
   days?
   2. Exporter caches the remote API data and reports the values back to 
   Prometheus as current.
   3. Exporter caches the remote API data and reports the values back to 
   Prometheus with timestamps.

Or is there something I’m not thinking of?

Thanks!
