i use an alarm for fetching github notifications using github v3 api, and noticing the fetch api are getting called timely, but are not getting the newest results, not sure what could be the problem?

 try{ 
    const count = await getNotifications(searchQueries);
    await chrome.storage.local.set({[dbName]: count})
    chrome.storage.local.get(dbName, showNotification);
 }catch(e) {
    console.log(e)
 }

 ...
 async function getNotifications(repo) {
   const headers = {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${access_token}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
   }
   let response = await fetch(`https://api.github.com/notifications`, {headers});
   const notifications = await response.json();
   // alert(notifications.length)
   return notifications.length
 }

Try [fetch(), how do you make a non-cached request?](//stackoverflow.com/q/29246444) – wOxxOm Dec 11 '19 at 15:34
@wOxxOm i checked the headers it's already in no-cache. But it's only working/updating to the new data if i inspect popup then refresh using cmd + r – yc_l Dec 11 '19 at 15:52
@wOxxOm added code – yc_l Dec 11 '19 at 16:20
The code looks fine. Try also `fetch(url, {cache: "no-store"})` and `"no-cache"`. – wOxxOm Dec 11 '19 at 16:28
@wOxxOm ah the 'no-store' works. Thanks for the help – yc_l Dec 11 '19 at 16:56
