These endpoints operate on **extracted memories**, not raw documents.

| Endpoint | Use when |
| --- | --- |
| `POST /v4/memories` | Write memories directly (skip document pipeline) |
| `POST /v4/memories/list` | List with history / versions |
| `PATCH /v4/memories` | Update (creates a new version) |
| `DELETE /v4/memories` | Forget a specific memory |
| `POST /v4/memories/forget-matching` | Forget by natural-language match |

For document-level CRUD, use [Documents](/api-reference/documents). For pipeline ingest, use [Ingest](/api-reference/ingest).
