Using JavaScript Axios/Fetch. Can you disable browser cache?

Question

I am trying to query a quote API for a freeCodeCamp project I'm updating to React.js. I am now trying to use Fetch or Axios to query the API but it's caching the response in the browser. I know in $ajax there is a { cache: false } that would force the browser to do a new request.

Is there some way I will be able to do the same with Fetch or Axios?

The cache-control setting seems to be already set to max-age: 0 by Axios.

This is my code I have that is querying the API.

generateQuote = () => {   axios.get('https://quotesondesign.com/wp-json/posts?filter[orderby]=rand&filter[posts_per_page]=1')     .then(response => {       const { title, content, link } = response.data[0];       console.log(title, content, link)       this.setState(() => ({ title, content, link }));     })     .catch(err => {       console.log(`${err} whilst contacting the quote API.`)     }) 

}

Okay so I found a solution. I had to set a timestamp on the API url to get it to make a new call. There doesn't seem to be a way to force axios or fetch to disable cache.

This is how my code now looks

axios.get(`https://quotesondesign.com/wp-json/posts?filter[orderby]=rand&filter[posts_per_page]=1&timestamp=${new Date().getTime()}`)   .then(response => {     const { title, content, link } = response.data[0];     console.log(title, content, link)     this.setState(() => ({ title, content, link }));   })   .catch(err => {     console.log(`${err} whilst contacting the quote API.`)   })
