Where API credentials should be stored in laravel?

We are developing package for laravel which interact with another app through API. Currently we are storing api credentials in cache. Whenever cache get cleared connection break. We are thinking for alternative . Is this good practice to store those credentials in database? if yes how it will get refresh for next credentials?
