@jmorganca commented on GitHub (Nov 9, 2025):

Hi @smileBeda, the endpoint to use here is /api/embed, as /api/embeddings is deprecated.

If you'd like to use /api/embeddings anyways, make sure to use the "prompt" parameter instead:

curl http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/embeddings \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"nomic-embed-text","prompt":"hello there who are you"}'
