This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The `` status error in the OpenAI API, indicated by "Bad Request," can be caused by several factors:
Invalid API Keys or Configuration: The API key used might be incorrect, expired, or not properly configured.
Rate Limiting: Exceeding the allowed number of requests within a specified time frame can trigger this error.
Invalid Request Syntax or Parameters: The request may contain invalid or malformed data, such as incorrect JSON formatting or missing required parameters. For example, the error message "is not of type 'array' - 'messages'" suggests that the
messagesfield is not formatted correctly as an array.Authentication Issues: Problems with the authentication process, such as incorrect endpoint URLs or environment variables, can lead to this error.
Entity or Script Naming Issues: In some cases, the naming conventions of entities or scripts (e.g., using only digits in script IDs) can cause the API to return a 400 error.
Solution
To resolve the 400 status error in the OpenAI API, you need to ensure several aspects of your API request are correctly configured. Here are some steps to take:
Verify API Keys and Configuration: Check that your API key is correct, not expired, and properly set in your request.
Inspect Request Syntax and Parameters: Ensure that your request data is structured correctly, including proper JSON formatting and all required parameters.
Check Rate Limits: Make sure you are not exceeding the allowed number of requests per minute or other rate limits imposed by OpenAI.
Review Authentication: Confirm that the authentication headers, such as the
Authorizationfield, are correctly set and that you are using the right endpoint URLs.Validate Input Data: Ensure that the input data, such as prompts or messages, are in the expected format and do not contain any anomalies like extra newline characters.
By addressing these areas, you can identify and fix the cause of the 400 error.
