# List memories

`client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.List(ctx, memoryStoreID, params) (*PageCursor[BetaManagedAgentsMemoryListItemUnion], error)`

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

List memories

## Parameters

- `memoryStoreID string` (path parameter)

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

- `params BetaMemoryStoreMemoryListParams`

  - `Depth param.Opt[int64] Optional` (query parameter)

    `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`.

    format: int32

  - `Limit param.Opt[int64] Optional` (query parameter)

    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.

    format: int32

  - `Page param.Opt[string] Optional` (query parameter)

    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.

  - `PathPrefix param.Opt[string] Optional` (query parameter)

    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.

  - `View BetaManagedAgentsMemoryView Optional` (query parameter)

    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.

  - `Betas []AnthropicBeta Optional` (header parameter)

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

  - `WorkspaceID param.Opt[string] Optional` (header parameter)

    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

- `type BetaManagedAgentsMemoryListItemUnion interface{…}`

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

  - `type BetaManagedAgentsMemory`

    A `memory` object: a single text document at a hierarchical path inside a memory store. The `content` field is populated when `view=full` and `null` when `view=basic`; the `content_size_bytes` and `content_sha256` fields are always populated so sync clients can diff without fetching content. Memories are addressed by their `mem_...` ID; the path is the create key and can be changed via update.

    - `Type BetaManagedAgentsMemoryType`

    - `ID string`

      Unique identifier for this memory (a `mem_...` value). Stable across renames; use this ID, not the path, to read, update, or delete the memory.

    - `ContentSha256 string`

      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`.

    - `ContentSizeBytes int64`

      Size of `content` in bytes (the UTF-8 plaintext length). Always populated, regardless of `view`.

      format: int32

    - `CreatedAt Time`

      When this memory was created, in RFC 3339 format.

      format: date-time

    - `MemoryStoreID string`

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

    - `MemoryVersionID string`

      ID of the `memory_version` representing this memory's current content (a `memver_...` value). This is the authoritative head pointer; `memory_version` objects do not carry an `is_latest` flag, so compare against this field instead. Enumerate the history via [List memory versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memory_versions/list?sdk_languages=go).

    - `Path string`

      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.

    - `UpdatedAt Time`

      When this memory was last modified, in RFC 3339 format. Use this as a cheap freshness signal; for who made the change, look up the head version's `created_by` via [List memory versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memory_versions/list?sdk_languages=go).

      format: date-time

    - `Content string Optional`

      The memory's UTF-8 text content. Populated when `view=full`; `null` when `view=basic`. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes).

  - `type BetaManagedAgentsMemoryPrefix`

    A rolled-up directory marker returned by [List memories](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memories/list?sdk_languages=go) when `depth` is set. Indicates that one or more memories exist deeper than the requested depth under this prefix. This is a list-time rollup, not a stored resource; it has no ID and no lifecycle. Each prefix counts toward the page `limit` and interleaves with `memory` items in path order.

    - `Type BetaManagedAgentsMemoryPrefixType`

    - `Path string`

      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

```go
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go"
	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/option"
)

func main() {
	client := anthropic.NewClient(
		option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"),
	)
	page, err := client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.List(
		context.TODO(),
		"memory_store_id",
		anthropic.BetaMemoryStoreMemoryListParams{},
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", page)
}
```
