Redis PEXPIRE

Redis PEXPIRE Command

The Redis Pexpire command is used to set the time of living of a key in milliseconds instead of seconds. After the expiry time, key will not be available in redis.

Here are some common uses and scenarios for the "PEXPIRE" command:

  • Fine-grained TTL: Set precise expiration times for keys in milliseconds.
  • Micro-caching: Cache data for very short durations with millisecond precision.
  • Rate Limiting: Control access rates with precise time windows.
  • Temporary Data: Manage short-lived tokens or temporary state with accuracy.

Syntax:

PEXPIRE KEY_NAME TIME_IN_MILLISECONDS

Available since

2.6.0.

Return Value

    Integer reply, specifically:
  • 1, if the timeout is set for the key.
  • 0, if the key does not exist or timeout could not set.

Return Value

Integer

Example: Redis PEXPIRE

First, create a key in redis and set some value in it.

127.0.0.1:6379> SET key "Apple"
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> PEXPIRE key 1800
(integer) 1
127.0.0.1:6379> TTL key

127.0.0.1:6379> PTTL key
