invalid_file_format_error
Invalid file format. Please use one of the supported formats: flac, m4a, mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, oga, ogg, wav, webm.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The `` status error with the message "Invalid file format. Supported formats: ['flac', 'm4a', 'mp3', 'mp4', 'mpeg', 'mpga', 'oga', 'ogg', 'wav', 'webm']" in the OpenAI API indicates that the file you are attempting to upload or process does not match the supported file formats.
This error occurs because the OpenAI API has specific requirements for the types of audio files it can handle, and your file does not conform to these supported formats. The error message explicitly lists the acceptable file types, and if your file is not in one of these formats, the API will return a 400 status code indicating a "Bad Request" due to the invalid file format.
Solution
To resolve the 400 status error due to an "Invalid file format" in the OpenAI API, you need to ensure that your audio file is in one of the supported formats. Here are the steps to fix this issue:
Convert your audio file to one of the supported formats:
flac,m4a,mp3,mp4,mpeg,mpga,oga,ogg,wav, orwebm.Verify that the file extension and format match, as some files may have incorrect or mismatched extensions.
Use a reliable audio conversion tool or software to convert the file, ensuring it is in the correct format before uploading it to the API.
By ensuring your audio file is in a supported format, you can avoid the "Invalid file format" error and successfully use the OpenAI API.
