validation_error
Invalid data type detected in request metadata; expected a string type.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400 status error in the OpenAI API, specifically the validation error for the request body's metadata -> data field, is likely due to the following reasons:
Invalid Data Type: The error message indicates that a string type is expected for the
datafield within themetadata, but the provided data does not match this type. This suggests a mismatch between the expected data type and the actual data type being sent in the request.Incorrect JSON Payload: The OpenAI API expects a valid JSON payload, and any discrepancies in the JSON structure or data types can lead to a "Bad Request" error. The error message hints at a possible issue with the HTTP library or the JSON payload not being correctly formatted.
Solution
To fix the 400 status error in the OpenAI API due to an invalid data type in the request metadata, you need to ensure the following:
Correct Data Type: Ensure that the
datafield within themetadatais a string, as this is what the API expects.Valid JSON Payload: Verify that the JSON payload is correctly formatted and contains the expected data types.
Check API Keys and Headers: Confirm that your API keys and headers, particularly the
Authorizationfield, are correctly set.Comply with Metadata Format: Ensure the
metadatafield adheres to the specified format, where keys and values should be strings and within the allowed character limits.
Additionally, review the OpenAI API documentation to ensure all parts of your request are properly configured.
