# Invalidate cache

The Invalidate cache action node clears cached response data on a service [endpoint](/reference/services/service-endpoints.md). It is only available for [services](/reference/services.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Beta feature**

Beta features are almost finalized but minor changes may still occur.
{% endhint %}

## Usage

To use this action node, the endpoint must have the **Cache Response Data** property selected.

If the endpoint has query parameters, the response data is cached based on those parameters, potentially resulting in multiple caches. In this case the query parameter values must be specified to invalidate the specific cache.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.appfarm.io/library/action-nodes/invalidate-cache.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
