Reason
The 400 Bad Request error in the OpenAI API can be triggered by several reasons:
Incorrect or Expired API Key
The API key used in the request might be incorrect, expired, or not properly configured, leading to the server being unable to authenticate the request.
Invalid Request Syntax or Configuration
The request may contain invalid syntax or configuration, such as incorrect headers, especially the Authorization field, or an incorrect base URL in the Axios configuration.
Rate Limiting
The API request might be hitting the rate limits set by OpenAI, which can result in a 400 error if the requests are made too frequently.
Incorrect Model Parameters
The request might be using model parameters that are not supported by the specified model. For example, specifying dimensions for a model that does not support it can lead to a 400 error.
Payload Issues
The payload of the request, such as the messages field, might be malformed or too short, which can cause the server to reject the request.
Network or Server-Side Issues
There could be network configuration issues or server-side problems that are causing the request to fail, such as changes in token counting or unexpected server behavior.
