Discussion on: Avoid multiple API call on Tab switching in short time span

[Trung Hieu Nguyen]

You can add a setTimeout in useEffect and clear that timeout using clean up function. So that you can make sure to call API only when users "stay" on that component for an amount of time. Hope this helps
Something like this:

useEffect(() => {
    const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
        // call api
    }, 5000); // 5 seconds

    return () => {
        clearTimeout(timeout);
    };
}, []);
