To send a Postman request to an Ollama API server, follow these steps:
First, ensure the Ollama server is running. You can start it with:
ollama serve
By default, it runs on http://localhost:11434
.
Use the following POST request in Postman:
-
Method:
POST
-
URL:
http://localhost:11434/api/generate
-
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
- Body (raw, JSON format):
{
"model": "mistral",
"prompt": "What is the capital of France?",
"stream": false
}
- Response Example:
{
"response": "The capital of France is Paris.",
"model": "mistral",
"done": true
}
-
Method:
GET
-
URL:
http://localhost:11434/api/tags
📌 Response Example:
{
"models": [
{
"name": "mistral",
"digest": "sha256:abc123...",
"modified_at": "2024-03-01T12:00:00Z"
}
]
}
To download and use a new model, such as LLaMA 3:
-
Method:
POST
-
URL:
http://localhost:11434/api/pull
- Body:
{
"name": "llama3"
}
📌 Response:
{
"status": "success"
}
For better control, you can add system messages:
-
Method:
POST
-
URL:
http://localhost:11434/api/generate
- Body:
{
"model": "mistral",
"messages": [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a helpful assistant."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What are the benefits of AI?"
}
]
}
📌 Response:
{
"response": "AI offers benefits like automation, efficiency, and scalability.",
"done": true
}
- Replace
"mistral"
with any model available (e.g.,"llama3"
,"gemma"
,"mixtral"
). - Set
"stream": true
for streaming responses. - Ensure Ollama is running before sending requests.
