Best Practices

To search through your memories, send a POST request to /search: 
curl https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/search?q=machine+learning+concepts&limit=10 \
  --request GET \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN'
The API will return relevant matches with their similarity scores: 
{
  "results": [
    {
      "documentId": "doc_xyz789",
      "chunks": [
        {
          "content": "Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence...",
          "isRelevant": true,
          "score": 0.85
        }
      ],
      "score": 0.95,
      "metadata": {
        "source": "web",
        "category": "technology"
      },
      "title": "Introduction to Machine Learning"
    }
  ],
  "total": 1,
  "timing": 123.45
