input_validation_error
Invalid value for input: expected a non-null string.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400
status error in the OpenAI API with the message "Invalid value for 'content': expected a string, got null" is occurring because the content
field in one of the messages you are sending to the API is null, whereas it is expected to be a string.
This issue can arise from several sources:
The data payload you are sending might contain a null value for the
content
field of a message, which is not acceptable by the API.It could also be due to the modification or processing of the message data somewhere in your application, resulting in a null value for the
content
field before the request is made to the API.
Solution
To fix the 400
status error in the OpenAI API with the message "Invalid value for 'content': expected a string, got null," you need to ensure that the content
field of every message in your request is a valid string. Here are the key steps to resolve this issue:
Verify Data Integrity
Check that none of the messages in your request have a
content
field set to null.Ensure that any preprocessing or modification of the message data does not result in null values.
Handle Null Values
Implement checks to replace or remove null values before sending the request to the API.
Use default or placeholder strings if necessary to avoid null values.
Validate Request Payload
Double-check the format and content of the request payload to adhere to the API's expected structure.
Ensure all required fields, including the
content
field, are present and correctly formatted.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your API requests are properly formatted and do not contain null values, thus resolving the 400
error.
