# Create Memory

> Create a new translation memory for your account

Create an empty translation memory. Fill it with the [Import Memory Items](/apis/ollang-api-reference/import-memory-items) endpoint, then pass its id as `selectedMemories` when [creating an order](/apis/ollang-api-reference/create-order).

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api-integration.ollang.com/integration/memories" \
    -H "X-Api-Key: <your-api-key>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "title": "Product documentation EN→FR"
    }'
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const response = await fetch(
    "https://api-integration.ollang.com/integration/memories",

      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        title: "Product documentation EN→FR",
      }),
    }
  );

  const memory = await response.json();
  ```

  headers = {
      "X-Api-Key": "<your-api-key>",
