Problem

The SERP API cache TTL is hardcoded to 24 hours. Operators cannot adjust caching behaviour without modifying source code.

Work

  • Add SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS to config.py (default 24).
  • Update serp_api.py to read the TTL from config rather than a literal.
  • Add the variable to .env.example.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Setting SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS=1 causes cached results to expire after 1 hour.
  • The default of 24 hours is preserved when the variable is unset.
  • Unit test (or at minimum a smoke test) confirms the TTL is read from config.

Reference

Roadmap item: P2 Backend — SERP cache TTL is hardcoded to 24 hours.

[Repo Manager] This issue is resolved. config.py reads SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS env var (default 24), and analyzer.py passes config.serp_cache_ttl_hours to the cache TTL parameter.
