TypeScript - every method, three groups.
Write, read, delete. Every example below was run against the live API on 2026-08-01; responses are verbatim.
npm install wontopos
import { Client } from "wontopos"; const mem = new Client({ apiKey: "wos-live-..." });
Choose a model
The API key picks which memory (your account); the model picks which engine reads it. Every model shares one memory, so you can store with one and recall with another. Set a default in the constructor; override a single call with withModel().
const mem = new Client({ apiKey: "wos-live-...", model: "tablet-1" }); // default mem.recall("...", "alice"); // tablet-1 mem.withModel("scroll-1").recall("...", "alice"); // or pick a model per call
listModels
The catalog - the ids you can pass to model and whether each is live. memory: "shared" models read the same store; "isolated" keeps its own. Needs no API key.
await mem.listModels();
[{"id": "tablet-1", "name": "Tablet 1", "available": true, "memory": "shared"},
{"id": "tablet-2", "name": "Tablet 2", "available": true, "memory": "shared"},
{"id": "scroll-1", "name": "Scroll 1", "available": true, "memory": "shared"},
{"id": "scroll-1.2", "name": "Scroll 1.2", "available": true, "memory": "shared"}]ping
Confirm connectivity and that your API key works - a one-line setup check.
await mem.ping(); // true, or throws AuthenticationError / PaymentRequiredError
The catalog above always reflects the models available right now - pass any other id and you get a clear error. New models appear there automatically when they ship.
Write
add
Store one memory. No LLM call on the way in - you pay the write rate and nothing else.
await mem.add("she prefers tea over coffee", "alice"); await mem.add("I promised the summary by Friday", "alice", { speaker: "me" }); // its own words - no registration needed
{"id": "576700aa-f0e0-4c26-99a0-10e2d5b0d624", "status": "stored (1 chunks)"}addTurn
Store one conversation turn (user + assistant) into short-term and long-term memory at once.
await mem.addTurn("hi", "hello!", "alice");
{"status": "ok"}speaker
Every memory can carry who said it. Register a person once, then pass their name as the speaker; "me" (the assistant's own words) never needs registration. Search accepts a speaker too, so you can recall one person's words only.
await mem.addSpeaker("Bob", "alice"); // once per person; "me" needs no registration await mem.add("I promised to send the report on Friday", "alice", { speaker: "me" }); await mem.add("Bob said the deadline moved to Tuesday", "alice", { speaker: "Bob" }); await mem.search("what did Bob say about deadlines?", "alice", 10, { speaker: "Bob" });
addBulk
Backfill a large blob of text. Split and indexed server-side - ideal for importing existing history.
await mem.addBulk("Alice moved to Brooklyn in March. She works at a design studio downtown.", "alice");
{"elapsed_secs": 0.154154944, "status": "ok", "stored": 1, "total_chunks": 1}update
A fact changed. The old memory is marked superseded (kept for history); the new one takes its place in recall.
await mem.update("576700aa-...", "she switched to coffee this year", "alice");
{"new_memory_id": "07e94433-b7cc-4e49-8d8f-f37fc1a392b7",
"old_memory_id": "576700aa-f0e0-4c26-99a0-10e2d5b0d624", "status": "superseded"}Read
search
Semantic search, most relevant first. Any language finds any memory, whichever language it was written in. The SDK returns the memories array directly; the raw HTTP body is shown below. Some models answer with more than one set of results and the SDK hands them back merged, so the array can hold MORE than max_results - size your prompt window on what you receive, not on the number you asked for.
const r = await mem.search("what does she drink?", "alice", 1);
[{
"id": "576700aa-f0e0-4c26-99a0-10e2d5b0d624",
"content": "she prefers tea over coffee",
"category": "general",
"time_bucket": "2026-06",
"importance": 0.3,
"similarity": 0.6316057443618774,
"is_superseded": false,
"superseded_by": null,
"created_at": "2026-07-10T04:20:39.688276876Z"
}]| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| similarity | How close this memory is to your query (0–1). |
| is_superseded | True if this fact was replaced by update(). |
| search_ms | Server-side retrieval time. |
recall
One round-trip returns everything your LLM needs - paste the result straight into your prompt: a bounded, fixed-size context no matter how much you've stored.
const ctx = await mem.recall("what does she drink?", "alice");
{"short_term": {"count": 2, "turns": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi", ...}]},
"long_term": {"count": 4, "memories": [{"content": "she prefers tea over coffee",
"similarity": 0.63, ...}]},
"context": {"count": 4, "around_top_memory": [
"[match] she prefers tea over coffee",
"[after] Alice moved to Brooklyn in March. ..."]},
"instruction": "Use short_term for recent context, long_term for relevant
past memories, context for surrounding conversation of the
most relevant memory."}history
Recent conversation turns (short-term memory), oldest first.
const turns = await mem.history("alice");
{"count": 2, "turns": [
{"role": "user", "content": "hi", "timestamp": "2026-07-10T04:20:40.989011337Z"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "hello!", "timestamp": "2026-07-10T04:20:40.989013416Z"}
], "user_id": "alice"}stats
Memory counts for one user.
await mem.stats("alice");
{"short_term_turns": 2, "total_memories": 4, "user_id": "alice"}get
Fetch one memory by id - the id that add or list_memories returned. The original text plus its metadata, and nothing internal. An id from another store, or a deleted or invalidated one, returns 404.
const m = await mem.get("alice", "576700aa-...");
{"id": "576700aa-...", "content": "she prefers tea over coffee",
"category": "general", "created_at": "2026-07-10T04:20:39Z", "event_date": null,
"is_superseded": false, "superseded_by": null}listMemories
List a store's memories - the original text you stored plus its metadata, and nothing internal. Paged by cursor: pass the returned next_cursor back for the next page.
const page = await mem.listMemories("alice", { limit: 100 });
{"count": 2, "next_cursor": null, "memories": [
{"id": "576700aa-...", "content": "she prefers tea over coffee",
"category": "general", "created_at": "2026-07-10T04:20:39Z", "event_date": null,
"is_superseded": false, "superseded_by": null}
]}iterMemories · exportMemories
Page through every memory with no cursor bookkeeping, or pull the whole store at once.
for await (const m of mem.iterMemories("alice")) console.log(m.id, m.content); const everything = await mem.exportMemories("alice");
Delete
delete
Delete a single memory by id.
await mem.delete("alice", "576700aa-...");
{"memory_id": "576700aa-f0e0-4c26-99a0-10e2d5b0d624", "status": "deleted"}deleteAll
Erase everything for one user - one call, GDPR-ready.
await mem.deleteAll("alice");
{"memories_deleted": 4, "status": "deleted", "user_id": "alice"}Errors and reliability
Every failure is a typed error - catch the specific one (rate limit, auth, payment) or all of them with the base WosError.
import { NotFoundError, PaymentRequiredError } from "wontopos"; try { await mem.add("...", "alice"); } catch (e) { if (e instanceof NotFoundError) await mem.createStore("alice"); else if (e instanceof PaymentRequiredError) topUp(); // out of credit else throw e; }
rateLimit
Read the quota left after any call and slow down before you hit the limit.
await mem.search("...", "alice"); const rl = mem.rateLimit; // { limit: 150, remaining: 3, reset: ... }
searchSelf
Both lanes from one call on a self-memory model (Scroll 1.2+): what others said, and the agent's OWN words - kept apart so the reader never confuses who said what.
const { memories, self_memories } = await mem.searchSelf("what did I promise?", "alice"); // memories = what others said · self_memories = the agent's OWN words
listEngrams
Ask the service which engrams and delivery forms the selected model can run, instead of hard-coding names that go stale the moment a new one ships.
const { engrams, forms } = await mem.listEngrams(); // ask, never hard-code
filters
Narrow the search to part of a store. Applied before ranking, so you get the best matches within the filter - not a filtered top-N.
await mem.search("what did we decide", "alice", 10, { filters: { categories: ["work"], event_from: "2026-01-01" }, // when it HAPPENED });
idempotencyKey
Makes repeating one write safe. Use it when the retry is yours - a job that died and was re-run, a queue that redelivers.
await mem.add("she prefers tea", "alice", {}, { idempotencyKey: `import:${row.id}` });
import:row-42), never a constant: one key reused for two different writes replays the first, and the second is silently lost. Format: 1-128 chars of [A-Za-z0-9._:-].withTimeout / withRetries / withDeadline
Tune one call site without touching the client you already built: a clone with a longer timeout for a big backfill, or with retries off inside your own retry loop.
timeout bounds one attempt, so a call that retries can outlive it: at the defaults a single call can hold a connection for 30s, back off, try again, and again. deadline bounds the whole call instead - every attempt is capped at what is left, and a backoff is never slept past the budget. Set it when the caller has a real limit, like a request handler with five seconds.
await mem.withTimeout(120_000).addBulk(bigBlob, "alice"); // this slow call only await mem.withRetries(0).add("...", "alice"); // you retry, not the SDK await mem.withDeadline(5_000).recall("...", "alice"); // 5s for the whole call await mem.withSignal(ctrl.signal).recall("...", "alice"); // caller can cancel
