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.
