Endpoints

Conventions

Model names

Model names follow a model:tag format, where model can have an optional namespace such as example/model. Some examples are orca-mini:3b-q4_1 and llama3:70b. The tag is optional and, if not provided, will default to latest. The tag is used to identify a specific version.

Durations

All durations are returned in nanoseconds.

Streaming responses

Certain endpoints stream responses as JSON objects. Streaming can be disabled by providing {"stream": false} for these endpoints.

Generate a completion

POST /api/generate

Generate a response for a given prompt with a provided model. This is a streaming endpoint, so there will be a series of responses. The final response object will include statistics and additional data from the request.

Parameters

  • model: (required) the model name
  • prompt: the prompt to generate a response for
  • suffix: the text after the model response
  • images: (optional) a list of base64-encoded images (for multimodal models such as llava)

Advanced parameters (optional):

  • format: the format to return a response in. Currently the only accepted value is json
  • options: additional model parameters listed in the documentation for the Modelfile such as temperature
  • system: system message to (overrides what is defined in the Modelfile)
  • template: the prompt template to use (overrides what is defined in the Modelfile)
  • context: the context parameter returned from a previous request to /generate, this can be used to keep a short conversational memory
  • stream: if false the response will be returned as a single response object, rather than a stream of objects
  • raw: if true no formatting will be applied to the prompt. You may choose to use the raw parameter if you are specifying a full templated prompt in your request to the API
  • keep_alive: controls how long the model will stay loaded into memory following the request (default: 5m)

JSON mode

Enable JSON mode by setting the format parameter to json. This will structure the response as a valid JSON object. See the JSON mode example below.

Important

It's important to instruct the model to use JSON in the prompt. Otherwise, the model may generate large amounts whitespace.

Examples

Generate request (Streaming)

Request
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama3.1",
  "prompt": "Why is the sky blue?"
}'
Response

A stream of JSON objects is returned:

{
  "model": "llama3.1",
  "created_at": "2023-08-04T08:52:19.385406455-07:00",
  "response": "The",
  "done": false
}

The final response in the stream also includes additional data about the generation:

  • total_duration: time spent generating the response
  • load_duration: time spent in nanoseconds loading the model
  • prompt_eval_count: number of tokens in the prompt
  • prompt_eval_duration: time spent in nanoseconds evaluating the prompt
  • eval_count: number of tokens in the response
  • eval_duration: time in nanoseconds spent generating the response
  • context: an encoding of the conversation used in this response, this can be sent in the next request to keep a conversational memory
  • response: empty if the response was streamed, if not streamed, this will contain the full response

To calculate how fast the response is generated in tokens per second (token/s), divide eval_count / eval_duration * 10^9.

{
  "model": "llama3.1",
  "created_at": "2023-08-04T19:22:45.499127Z",
  "response": "",
  "done": true,

  "prompt_eval_duration": 130079000,
  "eval_count": 259,
  "eval_duration": 4232710000
}

Request (No streaming)

Request

A response can be received in one reply when streaming is off.

curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama3.1",
  "prompt": "Why is the sky blue?",
  "stream": false
}'
Response

If stream is set to false, the response will be a single JSON object:

{
  "model": "llama3.1",
  "created_at": "2023-08-04T19:22:45.499127Z",
  "response": "The sky is blue because it is the color of the sky.",
  "done": true,

  "prompt_eval_duration": 325953000,
  "eval_count": 290,
  "eval_duration": 4709213000
}

Request (with suffix)

Request
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "codellama:code",
  "prompt": "def compute_gcd(a, b):",
  "suffix": "    return result",
  "options": {
    "temperature": 0
  },
  "stream": false
}'
Response
{
  "model": "codellama:code",
  "created_at": "2024-07-22T20:47:51.147561Z",
  "response": "\n  if a == 0:\n    return b\n  else:\n    return compute_gcd(b % a, a)\n\ndef compute_lcm(a, b):\n  result = (a * b) / compute_gcd(a, b)\n",
  "done": true,
  "done_reason": "stop",
  "context": [...],
  "total_duration": 1162761250,
  "load_duration": 6683708,

  "prompt_eval_duration": 201222000,
  "eval_count": 63,
  "eval_duration": 953997000
}

Request (JSON mode)

Important

When format is set to json, the output will always be a well-formed JSON object. It's important to also instruct the model to respond in JSON.

Request
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama3.1",
  "prompt": "What color is the sky at different times of the day? Respond using JSON",
  "format": "json",
  "stream": false
}'
Response
{
  "model": "llama3.1",
  "created_at": "2023-11-09T21:07:55.186497Z",
  "response": "{\n\"morning\": {\n\"color\": \"blue\"\n},\n\"noon\": {\n\"color\": \"blue-gray\"\n},\n\"afternoon\": {\n\"color\": \"warm gray\"\n},\n\"evening\": {\n\"color\": \"orange\"\n}\n}\n",
  "done": true,
  "context": [1, 2, 3],
  "total_duration": 4648158584,
  "load_duration": 4071084,
  "prompt_eval_count": 36,
  "prompt_eval_duration": 439038000,
  "eval_count": 180,
  "eval_duration": 4196918000
}

The value of response will be a string containing JSON similar to:

{
  "morning": {
    "color": "blue"
  },
  "noon": {
    "color": "blue-gray"
  },
  "afternoon": {
    "color": "warm gray"
  },
  "evening": {
    "color": "orange"
  }
}

Request (with images)

To submit images to multimodal models such as llava or bakllava, provide a list of base64-encoded images:

Request

curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llava",
  "prompt":"What is in this picture?",
  "stream": false,
  "images": ["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"]

Load a model

If an empty prompt is provided, the model will be loaded into memory.

Request
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama3.1"
}'
Response

A single JSON object is returned:

{
  "model": "llama3.1",

  "response": "",
  "done": true
}

Generate a chat completion

POST /api/chat

Generate the next message in a chat with a provided model. This is a streaming endpoint, so there will be a series of responses. Streaming can be disabled using "stream": false. The final response object will include statistics and additional data from the request.

Parameters

  • model: (required) the model name
  • messages: the messages of the chat, this can be used to keep a chat memory
  • tools: tools for the model to use if supported. Requires stream to be set to false

The message object has the following fields:

  • role: the role of the message, either system, user, assistant, or tool
  • content: the content of the message
  • images (optional): a list of images to include in the message (for multimodal models such as llava)
  • tool_calls (optional): a list of tools the model wants to use

Advanced parameters (optional):

  • format: the format to return a response in. Currently the only accepted value is json
  • options: additional model parameters listed in the documentation for the Modelfile such as temperature
  • stream: if false the response will be returned as a single response object, rather than a stream of objects
  • keep_alive: controls how long the model will stay loaded into memory following the request (default: 5m)

Create a Model

POST /api/create

Create a model from a Modelfile. It is recommended to set modelfile to the content of the Modelfile rather than just set path. This is a requirement for remote create. Remote model creation must also create any file blobs, fields such as FROM and ADAPTER, explicitly with the server using Create a Blob and the value to the path indicated in the response.

Parameters

  • name: name of the model to create
  • modelfile (optional): contents of the Modelfile
  • stream: (optional) if false the response will be returned as a single response object, rather than a stream of objects
  • path (optional): path to the Modelfile

Examples

Create a new model

Create a new model from a Modelfile.

Request
curl http://localhost:11434/api/create -d '{
  "name": "mario",
  "modelfile": "FROM llama3\nSYSTEM You are mario from Super Mario Bros."
}'
Response

Copy a Model

POST /api/copy

Copy a model. Creates a model with another name from an existing model.

Examples

Request

curl http://localhost:11434/api/copy -d '{
  "source": "llama3.1",
  "destination": "llama3-backup"
}'

Response

Returns a 200 OK if successful, or a 404 Not Found if the source model doesn't exist.

Delete a Model

DELETE /api/delete

Delete a model and its data.

Parameters

  • name: model name to delete

Examples

Request

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:11434/api/delete -d '{
  "name": "llama3:13b"
}'

Response

Returns a 200 OK if successful, 404 Not Found if the model to be deleted doesn't exist.

Pull a Model

POST /api/pull

Download a model from the ollama library. Cancelled pulls are resumed from where they left off, and multiple calls will share the same download progress.

Parameters

  • name: name of the model to pull
  • insecure: (optional) allow insecure connections to the library. Only use this if you are pulling from your own library during development.
  • stream: (optional) if false the response will be returned as a single response object, rather than a stream of objects

Examples

Request

curl http://localhost:11434/api/pull -d '{
  "name": "llama3.1"
}'

Response

If stream is not specified, or set to true, a stream of JSON objects is returned:

The first object is the manifest:

{
  "status": "pulling manifest"
}

Then there is a series of downloading responses. Until any of the download is completed, the completed key may not be included. The number of files to be downloaded depends on the number of layers specified in the manifest.

{
  "status": "downloading digestname",
  "digest": "digestname",
  "total": 2142590208,
  "completed": 241970
}

After all the files are downloaded, the final responses are:

{
    "status": "verifying sha256 digest"
}
{
    "status": "writing manifest"
}
{
    "status": "removing any unused layers"
}
{
    "status": "success"
}

if stream is set to false, then the response is a single JSON object:

{
  "status": "success"
}

Push a Model

POST /api/push

Upload a model to a model library. Requires registering for ollama.ai and adding a public key first.

Parameters

  • name: name of the model to push in the form of <namespace>/<model>:<tag>
  • insecure: (optional) allow insecure connections to the library. Only use this if you are pushing to your library during development.
  • stream: (optional) if false the response will be returned as a single response object, rather than a stream of objects

Examples

Request

curl http://localhost:11434/api/push -d '{
  "name": "mattw/pygmalion:latest"
}'

Response

If stream is not specified, or set to true, a stream of JSON objects is returned:

{ "status": "retrieving manifest" }

and then:

{
  "status": "starting upload",
  "digest": "sha256:bc07c81de745696fdf5afca05e065818a8149fb0c77266fb584d9b2cba3711ab",
  "total": 1928429856
}

Then there is a series of uploading responses:

{
  "status": "starting upload",
  "digest": "sha256:bc07c81de745696fdf5afca05e065818a8149fb0c77266fb584d9b2cba3711ab",
  "total": 1928429856
}

Finally, when the upload is complete:

{"status":"pushing manifest"}
{"status":"success"}

If stream is set to false, then the response is a single JSON object:

{ "status": "success" }

Generate Embeddings
