file_type_error
Invalid file type: Only image types are supported.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The "Invalid MIME type. Only image types are supported" error with a 400 status code in the OpenAI API is likely occurring due to the following reasons:
Incorrect File Format: The file being uploaded does not match one of the supported image formats (such as png, jpeg, gif, webp). The API strictly requires the file to be an image type.
Invalid MIME Type: The MIME type of the file is not correctly identified or is not one of the accepted types for image processing. This could be due to a mismatch between the file's actual content and its declared MIME type.
Unsupported Content: The file may contain content that does not conform to the expected image data, leading the API to reject it as an invalid image type.
Solution
To resolve the "Invalid MIME type. Only image types are supported" error with a 400 status code in the OpenAI API, you need to ensure the following:
Verify that the uploaded file is in one of the supported image formats (png, jpeg, gif, webp).
Check that the MIME type of the file is correctly set and matches the actual file content.
Ensure the file contains valid image data and does not include any unsupported content.
Here are the key steps to take:
Check File Format: Confirm the file is a supported image type.
Verify MIME Type: Ensure the MIME type is correctly identified as an image type.
Validate File Content: Make sure the file contains only valid image data.
