Changes in OneNote client aren't immediately reflected in apigee. For example:

  • Renaming a section in OneNote client. Apigee shows the old name.

  • Adding a section and adding notes to that section in OneNote; these
    aren't reflected in my app that uses the API. As seen below:

enter image description here

Is this a API call caching issue or a known OneNote issue? Whats the recommended way to resolve it? I'm using Superagent and wondering if its no-cache plugin would resolve this.

If you add the following header to an API request it seems to reduce the amount of caching that happens. 

FavorDataRecency: true

The trade off seems to be a larger overhead for the request and a greater likelihood of triggering throttling (429 errors).
The OneNote team could probably explain this more precisely.

  • This option in the OneNote API is no longer supported. – Jorge Aguirre Jul 12 '17 at 19:17
  • Thanks for the update Jorge, Will a request that includes this header fail or will it just be ignored? I have previously needed this header to prevent page requests from timing out, is this no longer the case? Cheers Steve – codeye Jul 14 '17 at 10:32
  • You should not see timeouts, do report them if you do. The header will just be ignored. – Jorge Aguirre Jul 19 '17 at 14:44

EDIT: This option is no longer supported.

Codeye is right - You can use 

FavorDataRecency: true

To skip our index. However, the index is refreshed based on changes made to OneNote content, so the delay (if you choose to not use FavorDataRecency) shouldn't be more than a few minutes

    Thanks @jorge. I've provided users with [4 steps to get started](https://github.com/komplexb/notifyer-electron#get-started) with my app, hopefully by the time they get to #4, synching has taken place. – komplexb Dec 28 '16 at 16:56
