Invalid input detected. Please check the API reference for correct usage: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference.

"$.input" is invalid. Please check the API reference: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference.

"$.input" is invalid. Please check the API reference: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference.

The "400 Bad Request" error in the OpenAI API, specifically with the message "'$.input' is invalid. Please check the API reference," can be triggered by several reasons:

Invalid or Missing Input

The error often indicates that the input provided to the API is either invalid, missing, or does not conform to the expected format. For example, passing an empty string or a string with invalid characters can cause this error.

Incorrect API Request Structure

The API request may not be structured correctly according to the OpenAI API reference. This includes issues with the JSON layout or the parameters passed in the request.

Type Mismatch

Environment variables or other input parameters might be of the wrong data type. For instance, if a numeric value is expected but a text value is provided, it can lead to this error.

Model-Specific Constraints

Some models have specific constraints or requirements that, if not met, can result in a "400 Bad Request" error. For example, certain models may not support specifying certain parameters like dimensions.

Rate Limiting and Throttling

Although not directly related to the "'$.input' is invalid" message, rate limiting and throttling issues can also result in a 400 error if the API limits are exceeded.

Middleware and Configuration Issues

Incorrect configuration of tools like Axios, including issues with headers or base URLs, can also lead to a 400 error.

To fix the "400 Bad Request" error in the OpenAI API, you need to address several potential issues:

Validate API Key

  • Ensure the API key is correct, not expired, and properly set in your environment variables or code.

Check Request Structure

  • Verify that the API request is structured correctly according to the OpenAI API reference, including the correct JSON layout and parameters.

Input Validation

  • Make sure the input provided to the API is valid and conforms to the expected format. Check for empty strings, invalid characters, or incorrect data types.

Model Constraints

  • Ensure that the request complies with the specific constraints and requirements of the model you are using.

Rate Limiting

  • Check if you are exceeding the rate limits imposed by OpenAI and implement rate limiting in your code if necessary.

Middleware and Configuration

  • Verify that the configuration of tools like Axios is correct, including the base URL and headers, especially the Authorization field.
