# Cache object

The `cache` object is used for retrieving values stored in the shop's Mechanic cache. For more on this, see [Using the cache](https://learn.mechanic.dev/platform/cache).

{% hint style="info" %}
Cache data is unavailable during [task preview](https://learn.mechanic.dev/core/tasks/previews).

## How to access it

* Use `{{ cache["some_key"] }}` or `{{ cache.some_key }}` in any task code
* Use `{% for keyval in cache %}` to iterate through the keys and values in your account's cache
