I was thinking of implementing a staggered poking cycle. Now, this obviously wouldn't work on one key, as the cache timer prevents me from getting new results, but what about multiple keys?
Say I were to poke the Notifications API on one key at 12:01 and the same API for the same character on a different key at 12:02, would I get new results? In other words, is the cache characterbound or keybound? I figured I'd ask before breaking the API servers. :P

It depends on the resource, and no I wont tell you which ones. Most are not cached per API key so doing that would just be a waste of your time.

You might want to look at this link as it has some info about the cache times and how the several different types of caching work.
