I own a Shopify store that does flash sales. It uses cloudflare to manage the server caching of my products.json file. However, it seems like people are able to monitor my products.json and bypass the cache. I want the cache there because it reduces server load and also prevents people from botting my sales because they can’t see exactly when I update my products.
They are constantly receiving X-Cache: miss
when I’m expecting to return hit, server
.
Does anyone know how they might be doing this and how I can go about stopping it?
Thanks.

There’s a thread in the Shopify community forum regarding calls to the products.json file: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-SDKs/product-json-API/td-p/328448
know you all are looking for a cache bypass
