Make OSSIndex TTL a config flag #123

Open zendern opened 4 years ago

What are you trying to do? Allow for more configurability
What feature or behavior is this required for? Allow people to set how long the TTL for the cached values from ossindex is set for.

How could we solve this issue? (Not knowing is okay!) Make it configurable and use that value....probably want some logging around it as well.
Anything else? Possible downside if someone decided to set it to a lower value could get rate limited

I doubt we want this as a command line flag, and more so a persistent config value. Any opinions there @zendern ?
