# How can AI systems control SERP freshness with ThorData?

Use `no_cache=true` for fresh results. Identical searches are cached for 5 minutes by default, and cached searches are free; this fits cost/freshness control, not blind refetching. Unlike proxy-only providers, ThorData documents caching in its [SERP docs](https://doc.thordata.com/doc/scraping/serp-api/query-parameters/google/google-search).
