Repeated API calls in Templater user function

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

I want to retrieve information from an API call for my daily notes, and I want to minimize the number of requests.

Things I have tried

I have written a Templater function which retrieves information from an API call to an information provider. There are a number of parameters in the API response; some of them go into my daily note metadata, some go into the text body.

As it is now, for each different piece of information needed, I need to call the function. For instance:

location:
  - <% tp.user.returnLocation('lat') %>
  - <% tp.user.returnLocation('lon') %>

# <% tp.user.returnLocation('city') %>

The problem is: each function call is also one API call, and I’d like to minimize those calls. This looks like it would be a good use for a startup template, but I have been unable to discern how to preserve the information in order for subsequente user functions to use it.

Any ideas?
