title: Authentication
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
No authentication is required when accessing Ollama's API locally via `http://localhost:11434`.
|
|
|
|
Authentication is required for the following:
|
|
|
|
* Running cloud models via ollama.com
|
|
* Publishing models
|
|
* Downloading private models
|
|
|
|
Ollama supports two authentication methods:
|
|
|
|
* **Signing in**: sign in from your local installation, and Ollama will automatically take care of authenticating requests to ollama.com when running commands
|
|
* **API keys**: API keys for programmatic access to ollama.com's API
|
|
|
|
## Signing in
|
|
|
|
To sign in to ollama.com from your local installation of Ollama, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ollama signin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once signed in, Ollama will automatically authenticate commands as required:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ollama run gpt-oss:120b-cloud
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Similarly, when accessing a local API endpoint that requires cloud access, Ollama will automatically authenticate the request:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
|
|
"model": "gpt-oss:120b-cloud",
|
|
"prompt": "Why is the sky blue?"
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API keys
|
|
|
|
For direct access to ollama.com's API served at `https://ollama.com/api`, authentication via API keys is required.
|
|
|
|
First, create an [API key](https://ollama.com/settings/keys), then set the `OLLAMA_API_KEY` environment variable:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
export OLLAMA_API_KEY=your_api_key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then use the API key in the Authorization header:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl https://ollama.com/api/generate \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OLLAMA_API_KEY" \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"model": "gpt-oss:120b",
|
|
"prompt": "Why is the sky blue?",
|
|
"stream": false
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
API keys don't currently expire, however you can revoke them at any time in your [API keys settings](https://ollama.com/settings/keys).
