cURL

curl -X GET 'https://api.anthropic.com/v1/memory_stores/memory-store-id/memories?beta=true&path_prefix=example-path-prefix&depth=10&limit=10&page=example-page&view=basic' \  -H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \  -H 'anthropic-version: 2023-06-01'

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
memory_store_id	path	string	Yes	Path parameter memory_store_id
path_prefix	query	string	No	Optional path prefix filter. Must end with `/` (segment-aligned), e.g., `/notes/`. This value appears in request URLs. Do not include secrets or personally identifiable information.
depth	query	integer	No	`0` (or omitted) returns all descendants below `path_prefix` (recursive). `1` returns immediate children only; deeper entries roll up as `memory_prefix` items. `depth=1` behaves like `ls`; omitting `depth` behaves like `find`.
limit	query	integer	No	Maximum number of items to return per page. Must be between 1 and 100. Defaults to 20 when omitted. Capped at 20 when `view=full`. Both `memory` and `memory_prefix` items count toward the limit.
page	query	string	No	Opaque pagination cursor (a `page_...` value). Pass the `next_page` value from a previous response to fetch the next page; omit for the first page.
view	query	string	No	Which projection of each `memory` to return. Defaults to `basic` (content omitted). `full` populates `content` on each item and caps `limit` at 20; use this as the bulk-read path for export and sync.
