It would be nice to see what models are in the registry. For example, llama2:70b is in there but not in the README.md

Yes, we are working on this. Soon there will be a site where you can see all this. We are still working on the right way to share this info.

@t3r-cni Would be nice to have a json version of library to fetch to, including model metadata such description, license and weight. Could be useful for third party developer and ollama cli with command like ollama search and ollama show for search and show detail of models.

Here are a couple of quick bash/zsh functions that should do what you want, until a better system is in place (like a json endpoint for library):

function ollama-get_latest_model_tags(){
  # Find available models
    echo "Gathering available models..."
    OLLAMA_MODELS=$(\
      curl -s https://ollama.ai/library | \
      grep 'class="group"' | \
      sed -e 's|.*library\/||' \
          -e 's|".*||' \
          -e 's|\/.*||' | \
      sort
      )

    # Finds tags of each model
    rm -f ${HOME}/.ollama_model_tag_library
    for MODEL in $(echo ${OLLAMA_MODELS})
    do 
      echo "Gathering available tags for ${MODEL}"
      curl -s https://ollama.ai/library/${MODEL}/tags | \
        grep "ollama pull" | \
        sed -e 's|^.*ollama pull ||' \
            -e 's|<.*||' \
        >> ${HOME}/.ollama_model_tag_library
    done
}

function ollama-print_latest_model_tags(){
  cat ${HOME}/.ollama_model_tag_library
}

# Usage:
#
# Call ollama_get_latest_model_tags when you want to update the list of models and tags
ollama_get_latest_model_tags
#
# Call ollama_print_latest_model_tags to see a list of all models and tags. Use grep to find the model you desire.
ollama_print_latest_model_tags
#
# Please note that this will leave a single artifact on your Mac, a text file: ${HOME}/.ollama_model_tag_library
# You can delete this at any time, it will get recreated when/if you run ollama_get_latest_model_tags

This will be prone to breaking if the structure/content of the HTML changes substantially, but works at the moment... enjoy!

In the CLI, when someone enters 'ollama pull' without a model name, it should return a current list of available models.

I'm building a small chat interface as a personal exercise and I wanted to simplify this process too

@omne-shree commented on GitHub (Dec 8, 2024):

Taken from #7751 with a few modification, this can be achieved using a justfile

set positional-arguments := true

default:
  just --list

#list Ollama models
@models:
    curl -s https://ollama.com/library | grep -oP 'href="/library/\K[^"]+'

#list model tags
@tags model:
    curl -s https://ollama.com/library/$1/tags | grep -oP "/library/$1:\K.*(?=\")"

example output:

$ just tags llama3.3
latest
70b
70b-instruct-fp16
70b-instruct-q2_K
70b-instruct-q3_K_M
70b-instruct-q3_K_S
70b-instruct-q4_0
70b-instruct-q4_1
70b-instruct-q4_K_M
70b-instruct-q4_K_S
70b-instruct-q5_0
70b-instruct-q5_1
70b-instruct-q5_K_M
70b-instruct-q6_K
70b-instruct-q8_0

to setup just, which is similar to make but intended as a command runner, more on installation here: just
just touch a justfile with contents above in the project root or home, the just command looks for a justfile in the current shell working directory

if using docker, possible to pull just in the ollama docker container with a justfile already setup

Is there some related documentation published ? Or perhaps an curl uasge example ?

@craigahobbs commented on GitHub (Jan 20, 2025):

I, too, would like such a JSON API. It doesn't need to be live - it can be a static resource updated daily, making it inexpensive to host.

I've created such a resource for the ollama-chat model download page here:

models.json

The file format is available here:

models.json File Format

The models.json file is updated nightly from https://ollama.com/library. Ideally, the format would contain the quantization (Q), but that information isn't on the main page, and I wanted to keep my scraper simple.

The scraper approach works as a temporary measure, but it's fragile and not a long-term solution. An official Ollama API would be much better.

Is this what other people are thinking?

@Tickloop commented on GitHub (Mar 27, 2025):

Is ollama.com open sourced?

Its clear that web-scrapper based solutions can be built but a long term stable solution requires a JSON API. ollama.com seems to use Go+HTMX stack (best guess) which means a new endpoint will need to be created to support a JSON API.

Can the maintainers from ollama.com clarify if/how we can work on adding this functionality?
So either ollama.com will not support a JSON API for model registry or they do add an API upon which new cli commands may be built.

I have a search client written in python: https://github.com/Tickloop/silsila/blob/main/src/search_ollama.py
that I can port as a cobra command.

If ollama.com starts supporting a JSON API we can refactor later. This has gone too long without a solution 😞

I am not an ollama.com maintainer, but I made ollama-admin-ui.

While the project is a webapp that implements the aforementioned web-scraping solution, it comes preloaded with the ollama model/tag library catalog and utility classes which can be imported into other tools and the catalog dumped to JSON without running the web application or conducting a scraping operation. More details in the project README.

@Dutcho commented on GitHub (Feb 3, 2026):

I expected the 'remote list' function. And now it's absent, I would very much appreciate if it gets added (incl. tags etc.).
Ideally, it would not be only CLI, but also Python SDK. But if the server exposes a JSON API, that's easily circumvented now and fixed later.

Re:

there's progress since that was posted.

Quite recently, @reid-endeavor approved with 'lgtm'. However, the branch has conflicts to be resolved before merging.
Perhaps @Tickloop you could find the time to look into those conflicts, so this can be merged, and we all can happily use it?
