file_type_error
Invalid file type: Only image types are supported.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400 error with the message "Invalid MIME type. Only image types are supported" in the OpenAI API is occurring because the API request is including a file or data that does not match the expected MIME type for images. Here are the key reasons:
Incorrect File Format
The API is specifically designed to handle image files (such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP), but the request is including a file of a different format.
Invalid MIME Type
The MIME type specified in the request does not correspond to a supported image type, leading the server to reject the request as a "Bad Request".
Solution
To fix the 400 error due to an "Invalid file type: Only image types are supported" issue in the OpenAI API, you need to ensure that the file you are sending matches the expected image formats. Here are the steps to resolve this:
Verify that the file you are uploading is an image file (such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP).
Check the MIME type specified in the request and ensure it corresponds to one of the supported image types.
If necessary, convert the file to a supported image format before making the API request.
Key actions:
Ensure the file is an image (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP).
Verify the MIME type is correct for the image file.
Convert the file if it is not in a supported format.
