permission_error
Action not allowed: downloading files for the specified purpose is restricted.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error "Not allowed to download files of purpose: assistants" with a 400 status code in the OpenAI API occurs because the API does not permit downloading files that were uploaded or generated by assistants. This restriction is in place because only files generated by assistants (such as those created by the code interpreter tool) are allowed to be downloaded, not files that you have uploaded yourself to the assistants.
Solution
To resolve the 400 status error related to downloading files in the OpenAI API, you need to adhere to the API's restrictions on file downloads. Here are some concise steps to address this issue:
Ensure you are not attempting to download files that are restricted by OpenAI's policies. Here are some key points:
Only download files generated by fine-tuning runs: Downloads are allowed for the results of fine-tuning runs, not for the input files to these runs.
Check the file purpose: Verify that the file you are trying to download is of a permitted purpose, such as files generated by fine-tuning runs.
Use the correct API endpoints: Make sure you are using the appropriate API endpoints for downloading files, as specified in the OpenAI API documentation.
Review API documentation: Refer to the OpenAI API documentation to understand the specific limitations and allowed file types for downloads.
By ensuring you comply with these guidelines, you can avoid the 400 error related to restricted file downloads.
