# List Memories

`MemoryListPage Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.List(parameters, cancellationToken = default)`

**GET** `/v1/memory_stores/{memory_store_id}/memories`

List Memories

## Parameters

- `MemoryListParams parameters`

  - `required string memoryStoreID` (path parameter)

    The ID of the memory store to list memories from (`memstore_...`).

  - `int depth` (query parameter)

    How far below `path_prefix` to list. Defaults to `0`, which lists every memory below the prefix.

    Pass `1` to list only the direct children. Deeper memories are then grouped into `memory_prefix` items.

    format: int32

  - `int limit` (query parameter)

    The maximum number of items to return per page, from 1 to 100. Defaults to 20.

    With `view=full`, a page holds at most 20 items. `memory` and `memory_prefix` items both count toward the limit.

    format: int32

  - `string page` (query parameter)

    The `next_page` value from a previous response, to get the next page. Omit it to get the first page.

  - `string pathPrefix` (query parameter)

    Return only memories whose path starts with this prefix, such as `/notes/`. This value appears in request URLs. Do not include secrets or personally identifiable information.

    Omit it to list the whole store. The prefix must end with `/` and matches whole segments, so `/notes/` matches `/notes/todo.md` but not `/notes-archive/todo.md`.

  - `BetaManagedAgentsMemoryView view` (query parameter)

    Whether each memory in the response includes `content`. Defaults to `basic`, which sets it to `null`.

    With `full`, a page holds at most 20 items.

  - `IReadOnlyList<AnthropicBeta> betas` (header parameter)

    This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `agent-memory-2026-07-22` or `managed-agents-2026-04-01` in this header.

  - `string workspaceID` (header parameter)

    Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).

    Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

## Returns

- `class BetaManagedAgentsMemoryListItem: union`

  One item in a [List Memories](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memories/list?sdk_languages=csharp) response: a `memory`, or a `memory_prefix` marker when `depth` is `1`.

  - `class BetaManagedAgentsMemory`

    A text document at a path inside a memory store.

    `content` is `null` when the response uses `view=basic`. `content_size_bytes` and `content_sha256` are always set, so you can detect changes without fetching the content. To retrieve, update, or delete a memory, pass its ID, which stays the same when its path changes.

    See the [memory guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/memory?sdk_languages=csharp#view-and-edit-memories) to learn more about working with memories.

    - `JsonElement Type = "memory"`

    - `required string ID`

      The unique ID of the memory (`mem_...`). It stays the same when the memory's path changes.

      To retrieve, update, or delete the memory, pass this ID.

    - `required string ContentSha256`

      Lowercase hex SHA-256 digest of the UTF-8 `content` bytes (64 characters). The server applies no normalization, so clients can compute the same hash locally for staleness checks and as the value for a `content_sha256` precondition on update. Always populated, regardless of `view`.

    - `required int ContentSizeBytes`

      The size of the memory's `content` in UTF-8 bytes. It is set regardless of `view`.

      format: int32

    - `required DateTimeOffset CreatedAt`

      When this memory was created, in RFC 3339 format.

      format: date-time

    - `required string MemoryStoreID`

      ID of the memory store this memory belongs to (a `memstore_...` value).

    - `required string MemoryVersionID`

      The ID of the memory version that holds the memory's current content (`memver_...`).

      Memory versions don't have a flag that marks the latest one. Compare their IDs with this field instead.

      See the [memory guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/memory?sdk_languages=csharp#audit-memory-changes) to learn more about memory versions.

    - `required string Path`

      Hierarchical path of the memory within the store, e.g. `/projects/foo/notes.md`. Always starts with `/`. Paths are case-sensitive and unique within a store. Maximum 1,024 bytes.

    - `required DateTimeOffset UpdatedAt`

      When the memory was last changed, in RFC 3339.

      To find out who made the change, look at `created_by` on the memory version that `memory_version_id` references.

      format: date-time

    - `string? Content`

      The memory's UTF-8 text content, or `null` when the response uses `view=basic`.

      The maximum size is 100 kB (102,400 bytes).

  - `class BetaManagedAgentsMemoryPrefix`

    A directory marker that [List Memories](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memories/list?sdk_languages=csharp) returns instead of the memories below the requested `depth`.

    It stands for one or more memories whose paths start with `path`. It isn't a stored object and doesn't have an ID. Each marker counts toward the page `limit`.

    - `JsonElement Type = "memory_prefix"`

    - `required string Path`

      The rolled-up path prefix, including a trailing `/` (e.g. `/projects/foo/`). Pass this value as `path_prefix` on a subsequent list call to drill into the directory.

## Example

```csharp
using System;
using Anthropic.Models.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories;

MemoryListParams parameters = new() { MemoryStoreID = "memory_store_id" };

var page = await client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.List(parameters);
await foreach (var item in page.Paginate())
{
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}
```
