temporarily import information from the web

can I import information from a websight into my chatbot then delete that information the next sentence I enter?

For importing information into your bot see,

In general any unpinned data will eventually be deleted/garbage collected if unreferenced.
To force the deletion of an object call the delete() method in Self. But be careful of deleting objects that may be used elsewhere.

can i get what was previously stored in memory by the time it was stored then delete it?

You would need to keep track of the data you load then delete it. There is no easy way to delete all new data, although this is something we are investigating a solutions for.

There is also a Memory class in Self that does support some basic querying API of the entire bot's database.
