How to avoid caching API requests at all?

What config should I set to avoid caching XHR api requests
I managed to doing this, so it is cached for 1 second

runtimeCaching: [
      {
        urlPattern: /\/api\//g,
        handler: 'NetworkFirst',
        options: {
          cacheName: 'api',
          expiration: {
            maxEntries: 1,
            maxAgeSeconds: 1 
          }
        }
      }
    ],

I assume this is partial of your runtimeCaching, it will work. But there is some misunderstanding about this configuration. To help you understand it, what it does is whenever a http request send to api route:

1. If device have network access, it always fetch from network without using any cache
2. If device doesn't have network access and has cache for api route, it fetch from the cache, but if the cache is expired (1 second after stored) it will return error since the cache is invalid.
