Overview

POST /api/pull
Download a model from the ollama library. Cancelled pulls are resumed from where they left off, and multiple calls will share the same download progress.

Parameters#

insecure: (optional) allow insecure connections to the library. Only use this if you are pulling from your own library during development.
stream: (optional) if false the response will be returned as a single response object, rather than a stream of objects
