Laravel variable cache - php

Question

I need to cache the results from Steam API parsing. And so the cached result lasts 15 minutes. I have a code:
public function load()
{
if (Auth::guest()) return response()->json(['success' => false, 'msg' => 'You need login!']);
$inventory = $this->getInventory(file_get_contents('http://steamcommunity.com/inventory/' . $this->user->steamid64 . '/570/2?l=russian&count=5000', true));
if (!$inventory) {
return response()->json(['success' => false, 'msg' => 'Error']);
}
$items = [];
$items_with_prices = json_decode(\Storage::get('prices.txt'));
$items_with_prices_by_key = [];
foreach ($items_with_prices->items as $item_price_key => $item_price_data) {
$items_with_prices_by_key[$item_price_key] = $item_price_data->price;
}
foreach ($inventory['rgInventory'] as $info) {
$item = $inventory['rgDescriptions'][$info['classid'] . '_' . $info['instanceid']];
if ($item['tradable'] == 0) continue;
$price = 0;//InventoryController::getItemPrice($item['market_hash_name']);
if (array_key_exists($item['market_hash_name'], $items_with_prices_by_key)) {
$price = $items_with_prices_by_key[$item['market_hash_name']];
}
if (!$price) continue;
if ($price < 1) $price = 0.64;
$type = $this->getType($item['type']);
$items[] = [
'id' => $info['id'],
'classid' => $item['icon_url'],
'price' => round($price, 2),
'type' => $type
];
}
usort($items, function($a, $b){
return ($b['price'] - $a['price']);
});
return response()->json(['success' => true, 'items' => $items]);
}
This code only works when a site user clicks on the "show my items" button and a request is sent to the list of user items in Steam Dota 2. Now if click constantly to get a list of items, Steam can block the server’s IP address for 24 hours. As I understand it, I need to throw the result of a $inventory variable into the cache. I create database table cache with fields id, user_id, items, date.
How can I now cache the result from a $inventory variable of 15 minutes?

Here is basic caching in laravel
$rememberTimeInSeconds = 3600;
$cachedResult = Cache::remember('name_of_your_cache', $rememberTimeInSeconds, function(){
// It can be any logic I just showing a simple query.
$users = User::all();
return $users;
});
