# API Reference Template

> Standard layout for documenting Mem0 API endpoints.

# Api Reference Template

API reference pages document a single endpoint contract. Present metadata, request/response examples, and recovery guidance without narrative detours.

***

## ❌ DO NOT COPY: Guidance & Constraints

* Frontmatter must include `title`, `description`, `icon`, `method`, `path`. Heading should be `# METHOD /path`.
* Provide a quick facts table (Method, Path, Auth, Rate limit) followed by an `<Info>` block describing when to use the endpoint. Add `<Warning>` for beta headers or scope requirements.
* Requests require headers table, body/parameters table, and `<CodeGroup>` with cURL, Python, TypeScript. If a language is unavailable, include a `<Note>` explaining why.
* When migrating an existing endpoint page, keep the canonical examples and edge-case notes. Drop them into these sections rather than inventing new payloads unless the API changed.
* Response section must show a canonical success payload, status-code table, and troubleshooting tips. Document pagination/idempotency in `<Tip>` or `<Note>` blocks.
* End with related endpoints, a sample workflow link, and two CTA cards (left = concept/feature, right = applied tutorial). Keep the comment reminder for reviewers.

# [METHOD] [path]

| Method | Path | Auth | Rate Limit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [METHOD] | `[path]` | Token (`mem0-api-key`) | [X req/min] |

<Info>
  Use this endpoint when [brief scenario]. Prefer [alternative endpoint] for [other scenario].
</Info>

<Warning>
  [Optional: scopes, beta headers, or breaking changes.] Remove if not needed.

## Request

### Headers

| Name | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Authorization` | Yes | `Token YOUR_API_KEY` |
| `Content-Type` | Yes | `application/json` |

### Body

| Field | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `user_id` | string | Yes | Identifier for the end user. | `"alex"` |
| `memory` | string | Yes | Content to store. | `"Prefers email follow-ups."` |
| `metadata` | object | No | Key/value pairs for filtering. | `{ "channel": "support" }` |

<CodeGroup>
```bash Shell
curl https://api.mem0.ai/v1/memories \
  -H "Authorization: Token $MEM0_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "user_id": "alex", "memory": "Prefers email follow-ups." }'
```

```python Python
import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.mem0.ai/v1/memories",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Token {API_KEY}"},
    json={"user_id": "alex", "memory": "Prefers email follow-ups."},
)
resp.raise_for_status()
```

```ts TypeScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.mem0.ai/v1/memories", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Token ${process.env.MEM0_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ user_id: "alex", memory: "Prefers email follow-ups." }),
});
```
</CodeGroup>

<Tip>
  Batch insertion? Use `/v1/memories/batch` with the same payload structure.
</Tip>

## Response

```json
{
  "memory_id": "mem_123",
  "created_at": "2025-02-04T12:00:00Z"
}
```

| Status | Meaning | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `201` | Memory stored successfully. | N/A |
| `400` | Missing required field. | Provide `user_id` and `memory`. |
| `401` | Invalid or missing API key. | Refresh key in dashboard. |

<Note>
  Responses include pagination tokens when you request multiple resources. Reuse them to fetch the next page.
