Mem0 API Overview

Mem0 provides a powerful set of APIs that allow you to integrate advanced memory management capabilities into your applications. Our APIs are designed to be intuitive, efficient, and scalable, enabling you to create, retrieve, update, and delete memories across various entities such as users, agents, apps, and runs.

​
Key Features

  • Memory Management: Add, retrieve, update, and delete memories with ease.
  • Entity-based Operations: Perform operations on memories associated with specific users, agents, apps, or runs.
  • Advanced Search: Utilize our search API to find relevant memories based on various criteria.
  • History Tracking: Access the history of memory interactions for comprehensive analysis.
  • User Management: Manage user entities and their associated memories.

​
API Structure

Our API is organized into several main categories:

  1. Memory APIs: Core operations for managing individual memories and collections.
  2. Entities APIs: Manage different entity types (users, agents, etc.) and their associated memories.
  3. Search API: Advanced search functionality to retrieve relevant memories.
  4. History API: Track and retrieve the history of memory interactions.

​
Authentication

All API requests require authentication using HTTP Basic Auth. Ensure you include your API key in the Authorization header of each request.

​
Organizations and projects (optional)

Organizations and projects provide the following capabilities:

  • Multi-org/project Support: Specify organization and project when initializing the Mem0 client to attribute API usage appropriately
  • Member Management: Control access to data through organization and project membership
  • Access Control: Only members can access memories and data within their organization/project scope
  • Team Isolation: Maintain data separation between different teams and projects for secure collaboration

Example with the mem0 Python package:

from mem0 import MemoryClient

# Recommended: Using organization and project IDs
client = MemoryClient(
    org_id='YOUR_ORG_ID', # It can be found on the organization settings page in dashboard
    project_id='YOUR_PROJECT_ID',
)

Note: The use of organization and project parameters is deprecated and will be removed in version 0.1.40. Please use org_id and project_id instead.

Example with the mem0 Node.js package:

import { MemoryClient } from "mem0ai";

# Recommended: Using organization and project IDs
const client = new MemoryClient({
    organizationId: "YOUR_ORG_ID",
    projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
});

​
