1)The API - http://127.0.0.1:11434/api doesn't work. Are there any additional steps for http://127.0.0.1:11434/api to work correctly?

Doesn't work on my mac and EC2 as well.

@PriyaranjanMaratheDish when you type http://127.0.0.1:11434, do you see "Ollama is running" in the browser?
When you click on http://127.0.0.1:11434/api, do you see "404 page not found" in your browser?
API is not a page where you can interact with Ollama. After installing the Ollama app, you need to double-click on it to launch Ollama, then open the terminal to load LLM and chat with them.
You can also use an app like Chatbox that will give you a web interface if you intend to use Ollama in a web browser.
Let me know if it works for you.

hi @PriyaranjanMaratheDish , thanks for submitting this. /api isn't a valid endpoint. You should see a response on / or a POST to /api/generate. Is there any documentation anywhere you have seen that points to /api? We would like to make sure its fixed. Thanks for being a great part of this community.

hi @technovangelist - see this link - https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui/blob/main/TROUBLESHOOTING.md the step they mention are -

docker run -d --network=host -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data -e OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434/api --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main

hi @PriyaranjanMaratheDish that doesn't look like a complete call to that api. Looks like a GET instead of a POST. You can find the docs for the Ollama API here: https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md. The example for /api/generate is:

curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama2",
  "prompt": "Why is the sky blue?"
}'
