input_validation_error
Input should be a valid string.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400 Bad Request error you are encountering with the Anthropic API is likely due to an issue with the format or content of your request. Here are some possible reasons:
Invalid Request Format: The request may not conform to the expected structure or syntax, such as missing or malformed fields.
Non-Empty Content Requirement: The API may require certain fields, such as text content, to be non-empty. For example, the
messages
field must contain non-empty text content.Incorrect or Missing Parameters: The request might be missing necessary parameters, such as a valid
metadata.user_id
which should be a valid string.
These issues indicate that there is a problem with how the request is constructed, leading to the API rejecting it with a 400 status code.
Solution
To fix the 400 Bad Request error with the Anthropic API, ensure the following:
Verify that the
metadata.user_id
field contains a valid string.Ensure the
messages
field is included and contains at least one properly formatted message with non-empty text content.Check that all required parameters are present and correctly formatted.
Remove any extra or unnecessary inputs that are not permitted by the API.
Here are the key points to address:
Validate the
metadata.user_id
as a valid string.Include a correctly formatted
messages
field.Ensure all necessary parameters are present and correctly formatted.
Remove any extra inputs not permitted by the API.
