# API
## Generate a Prompt
**POST /api/generate**
**Generate** is the main endpoint that you will use when working with Ollama. This is used to generate a response to a prompt sent to a model.
The **Generate** endpoint takes a JSON object with the following fields:
```
{
Model: "modelname",
Prompt: "prompt",
}
```
The response is a stream of JSON objects with the following fields:
```
{
"model": "modelname",
"created_at": "2023-08-04T08:52:19.385406455-07:00"
"response": "the current token",
"done": false
}
```
The final response in the stream also includes the context and what is usually seen in the output from verbose mode. For example:
```
{
"model":"orca",
"created_at":"2023-08-04T19:22:45.499127Z",
"done":true,
"total_duration":5589157167,
"load_duration":3013701500,
"sample_count":114,
"sample_duration":81442000,
"prompt_eval_count":46,
"prompt_eval_duration":1160282000,
"eval_count":113,
"eval_duration":1325948000
}
```
| field | description |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
| model | the name of the model |
| created_at | the time the response was generated |
| response | the current token |
| done | whether the response is complete |
| total_duration | total time spent generating the response |
| load_duration | time spent loading the model |
| sample_count | number of samples generated |
| sample_duration | time spent generating samples |
| prompt_eval_count | number of times the prompt was evaluated |
| prompt_eval_duration | time spent evaluating the prompt |
| eval_count | number of times the response was evaluated |
| eval_duration | time spent evaluating the response |
