## 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
```shell
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](#model-names)
- `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](./modelfile.md#valid-parameters-and-values) 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](#request-json-mode) 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
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "llama3.2",
"prompt": "Why is the sky blue?"
}'
```
##### Response
A stream of JSON objects is returned:
```json
{
"model": "llama3.2",
"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`.
```json
{
"model": "llama3.2",
"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.
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "llama3.2",
"prompt": "Why is the sky blue?",
"stream": false
}'
```
##### Response
If `stream` is set to `false`, the response will be a single JSON object:
```json
{
"model": "llama3.2",
"created_at": "2023-08-04T19:22:45.499127Z",
"response": "The sky is blue because it is the color of the sky.",
"done": true,
"context": [1, 2, 3],
"total_duration": 5043500667,
"load_duration": 5025959,
"prompt_eval_count": 26,
"prompt_eval_duration": 325953000,
"eval_count": 290,
"eval_duration": 4709213000
}
```
#### Request (with suffix)
##### Request
```shell
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
```json
{
"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,

"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
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{

```
The value of `response` will be a string containing JSON similar to:
```json
{
"morning": {
"color": "blue"
},
"noon": {
"color": "blue-gray"
},
"afternoon": {
"color": "warm gray"
},
"evening": {

```
#### Request (Raw Mode)
In some cases, you may wish to bypass the templating system and provide a full prompt. In this case, you can use the `raw` parameter to disable templating. Also note that raw mode will not return a context.
##### Request
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "mistral",
"prompt": "[INST] why is the sky blue? [/INST]",
"raw": true,
"stream": false
}'
```
#### Request (Reproducible outputs)
For reproducible outputs, set `seed` to a number:
##### Request
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "mistral",
"prompt": "Why is the sky blue?",
"options": {

"prompt_eval_duration": 119039000,
"eval_count": 110,
"eval_duration": 1779061000
}
```
#### Generate request (With options)
If you want to set custom options for the model at runtime rather than in the Modelfile, you can do so with the `options` parameter. This example sets every available option, but you can set any of them individually and omit the ones you do not want to override.
##### Request
```shell

```
#### Load a model
If an empty prompt is provided, the model will be loaded into memory.
##### Request
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "llama3.2"
}'
```
##### Response
A single JSON object is returned:
```json
{
"model": "llama3.2",
"created_at": "2023-12-18T19:52:07.071755Z",
"response": "",
"done": true
}
```
#### Unload a model
If an empty prompt is provided and the `keep_alive` parameter is set to `0`, a model will be unloaded from memory.
##### Request
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "llama3.2",
"keep_alive": 0
}'
```
##### Response
A single JSON object is returned:
```json
{
"model": "llama3.2",
"created_at": "2024-09-12T03:54:03.516566Z",
"response": "",
"done": true,
"done_reason": "unload"
}
```
## Generate a chat completion
```shell
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](#model-names)
- `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](./modelfile.md#valid-parameters-and-values) 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`)
### Examples
#### Chat Request (Streaming)
##### Request
Send a chat message with a streaming response.
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
"model": "llama3.2",
"messages": [

"content": "why is the sky blue?"
}
]
}'

"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": ""
},
"done_reason": "unload",
"done": true
}
```
## Create a Model
```shell
POST /api/create
```
Create a model from a [`Modelfile`](./modelfile.md). 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](#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
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/create -d '{
"name": "mario",
"modelfile": "FROM llama3\nSYSTEM You are mario from Super Mario Bros."
}'
```
##### Response
A stream of JSON objects. Notice that the final JSON object shows a `"status": "success"`.
```json

### Check if a Blob Exists
```shell
HEAD /api/blobs/:digest
```
Ensures that the file blob used for a FROM or ADAPTER field exists on the server. This is checking your Ollama server and not Ollama.ai.
#### Query Parameters
- `digest`: the SHA256 digest of the blob
#### Examples
##### Request
```shell
curl -I http://localhost:11434/api/blobs/sha256:29fdb92e57cf0827ded04ae6461b5931d01fa595843f55d36f5b275a52087dd2
```
##### Response
Return 200 OK if the blob exists, 404 Not Found if it does not.
### Create a Blob
```shell
POST /api/blobs/:digest
```
Create a blob from a file on the server. Returns the server file path.
#### Query Parameters
- `digest`: the expected SHA256 digest of the file
#### Examples
##### Request
```shell
curl -T model.bin -X POST http://localhost:11434/api/blobs/sha256:29fdb92e57cf0827ded04ae6461b5931d01fa595843f55d36f5b275a52087dd2
```
##### Response
Return 201 Created if the blob was successfully created, 400 Bad Request if the digest used is not expected.
## List Local Models
```shell
GET /api/tags
```
List models that are available locally.
### Examples
#### Request
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
```
#### Response
A single JSON object will be returned.

## Copy a Model
```shell
POST /api/copy
```
Copy a model. Creates a model with another name from an existing model.
### Examples
#### Request
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/copy -d '{
"source": "llama3.2",
"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
```shell
DELETE /api/delete
```
Delete a model and its data.
### Parameters
- `name`: model name to delete
### Examples
#### Request
```shell
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
```shell
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
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/pull -d '{
"name": "llama3.2"
}'
```
#### Response
If `stream` is not specified, or set to `true`, a stream of JSON objects is returned:
The first object is the manifest:
```json
{
"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.
```json
{
"status": "downloading digestname",
"digest": "digestname",
"total": 2142590208,
"completed": 241970
}
```
After all the files are downloaded, the final responses are:
```json
{
"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:
```json
{
"status": "success"
}
```
## Push a Model
```shell
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
```shell
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:
```json
{ "status": "retrieving manifest" }
```
and then:
```json
{
"status": "starting upload",
"digest": "sha256:bc07c81de745696fdf5afca05e065818a8149fb0c77266fb584d9b2cba3711ab",
"total": 1928429856
}
```
Then there is a series of uploading responses:
```json
{
"status": "starting upload",
"digest": "sha256:bc07c81de745696fdf5afca05e065818a8149fb0c77266fb584d9b2cba3711ab",
"total": 1928429856
}
```
Finally, when the upload is complete:
```json
{"status":"pushing manifest"}
{"status":"success"}
```
If `stream` is set to `false`, then the response is a single JSON object:
```json
{ "status": "success" }
```
## Generate Embeddings
```shell
POST /api/embed
```
Generate embeddings from a model
### Parameters
- `model`: name of model to generate embeddings from
- `input`: text or list of text to generate embeddings for
Advanced parameters:
- `truncate`: truncates the end of each input to fit within context length. Returns error if `false` and context length is exceeded. Defaults to `true`
- `options`: additional model parameters listed in the documentation for the [Modelfile](./modelfile.md#valid-parameters-and-values) such as `temperature`
- `keep_alive`: controls how long the model will stay loaded into memory following the request (default: `5m`)
### Examples
#### Request
```shell
curl http://localhost:11434/api/embed -d '{
"model": "all-minilm",
"input": "Why is the sky blue?"
}'
```
#### Response
