02 / GET STARTED

Five steps to a first response

  1. 1

    Create or sign in to Ollama

    Sign in at ollama.com. Ollama's current pricing page describes a Free plan with starter usage credits for a smaller set of models; buying credits unlocks additional usage.

    Read current Free plan terms ↗
  2. 2

    Create an API key

    Open Settings → API Keys and create a key. Store it only in your local environment.

    Open Ollama API Keys ↗
  3. 3

    Use Ollama's native cloud endpoint

    This guide uses Ollama's documented /api/chat endpoint and the cloud-tagged Model ID from Ollama's own library. freeLLM sometimes shows a shorter ID, so use the value below and confirm it in your account.

  4. 4

    Send one small request

    Set OLLAMA_API_KEY locally and run the cURL example. The request disables streaming so the first response is easy to inspect.

  5. 5

    Check starter usage before scaling

    Free accounts have a monthly starter amount and one concurrent request. Ollama does not publish a fixed session/weekly number for each free model, so check your usage page before relying on availability.

Run this on your own computer. Set OLLAMA_API_KEY in your local shell first. The page never collects or sends your key. Ollama does not publish these models as guaranteed starter models; confirm included credits before calling them.

Terminal
# Set OLLAMA_API_KEY in your own terminal first. Do not paste it into this site.
curl 'https://ollama.com/api/chat' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OLLAMA_API_KEY" \

A 401/403 can indicate a key or account issue; 404 can indicate a changed model ID; 429 usually points to a limit. Check Ollama Cloud's own error details before changing plans.
