Getting Started with aioredis

import aioredis\n\nasync def main():\n    # Connect to Redis\n    redis = await aioredis.create_redis(\n        'redis://localhost'\n    )\n\n    # Set a key\n    await redis.set('my-key', 'value')\n\n    # Get a key\n    value = await redis.get('my-key')\n    print(value)\n\n    # Close connection\n    redis.close()\n    await redis.wait_closed()\n\n# Run the main function using asyncio\nimport asyncio\nasyncio.run(main())

Advanced aioredis Example

import aioredis\nimport asyncio\n\nasync def retrieve_data(redis, key):\n    data = await redis.get(key)\n    if data is None:\n        # Simulate data fetching from a slow source\n        print('Fetching data...')\n        await redis.set(key, 'some_value', expire=10)\n        return 'some_value'\n    return data\n\nasync def main():\n    redis = await aioredis.create_redis(\n        'redis://localhost'\n    )\n\n    key = 'user:1000'\n    data = await retrieve_data(redis, key)\n    print(f'Data for {key}: {data}')\n\n    redis.close()\n    await redis.wait_closed()\n\nasyncio.run(main())
