## 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 and can optional return non-streamed responses.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 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
 | 
						|
- `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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Note: 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",
 | 
						|
  "prompt": "Why is the sky blue?"
 | 
						|
}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### Response
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A stream of JSON objects is returned:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  "model": "llama3",
 | 
						|
  "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",
 | 
						|
  "created_at": "2023-08-04T19:22:45.499127Z",
 | 
						|
  "response": "",
 | 
						|
  "done": true,
 | 
						|
  "context": [1, 2, 3],
 | 
						|
  "total_duration": 10706818083,
 | 
						|
  "load_duration": 6338219291,
 | 
						|
  "prompt_eval_count": 26,
 | 
						|
  "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",
 | 
						|
  "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",
 | 
						|
  "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,
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
  "prompt_eval_count": 26,
 | 
						|
  "prompt_eval_duration": 325953000,
 | 
						|
  "eval_count": 290,
 | 
						|
  "eval_duration": 4709213000
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Request (JSON mode)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> 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 '{

 | 
						|
  "prompt": "What color is the sky at different times of the day? Respond using JSON",
 | 
						|
  "format": "json",
 | 
						|
  "stream": false
 | 
						|
}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The value of `response` will be a string containing JSON similar to:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  "morning": {
 |

#### 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.

#### 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.

#### 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"
 | 
						|
}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### Response
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A single JSON object is returned:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  "model": "llama3",
 | 
						|
  "created_at": "2023-12-18T19:52:07.071755Z",
 | 
						|
  "response": "",
 | 
						|
  "done": true
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `message` object has the following fields:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `role`: the role of the message, either `system`, `user` or `assistant`
 | 
						|
- `content`: the content of the message
 | 
						|
- `images` (optional): a list of images to include in the message (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`
 | 
						|
- `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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```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"`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
HEAD /api/blobs/:digest
 | 
						|
```
 |

 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### 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

 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### Response
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Return 201 Created if the blob was successfully created, 400 Bad Request if the digest used is not expected.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

## 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",
 | 
						|
  "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"
 | 
						|
}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### 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" }
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
