API Key Generalization

Date: December 11, 2024 Topic: Configuration & Developer Experience

Overview

As part of our move towards provider agnostic architecture, we standardized the configuration keys. The library no longer strictly expects a "Google" API key, but rather a generic apiKey that corresponds to your chosen provider.

Key Changes

1. Configuration Property Rename

Old: googleApiKey

• New: apiKey

2. Environment Variables

We now support a generic MEMORI_API_KEY environment variable, though provider-specific keys (like OPENAI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY) are still detected if the generic one is missing.

3. Impact on Developers

This is a breaking change for users manually passing googleApiKey in the constructor.

Before:

const memori = new Memori({ googleApiKey: "..." });

After:

const memori = new Memori({ apiKey: "..." });
