# API Reference

> The Memic public API — 10 endpoints, one API key, zero IDs in the URL.

The Memic public API is a small, focused REST surface for ingesting,
searching, and chatting over your data. Every endpoint is scoped to an
environment via a single API key — no organization, project, or environment
IDs in the URL.

## Base URL

```
https://api.memic.ai/api/v1
```

All endpoints are relative to this base. Examples in this reference use the
full URL for clarity.

## Conventions

* **JSON in, JSON out.** Request bodies are `application/json`. Responses
  are UTF-8 encoded JSON.
* **UUIDs** are used for all resource identifiers (`file_id`, `project_id`,
  etc.) in the canonical 8-4-4-4-12 format.
* **Timestamps** are ISO 8601 in UTC: `2026-04-12T14:23:05.123Z`.
* **Pagination** is cursor-less and uses `page` + `page_size` query params
  where applicable. See [Pagination](/api-reference/pagination).
* **Errors** follow RFC 7807 problem details. See [Errors](/api-reference/errors).
