I have a frontend that allows users to upload a file which then gets sent to my Node/Express server in a multipart form. I am using multer to parse the file from the request but I can’t pass it to OpenAI without error. I have it set to save the file in storage and then I pass the file path into the…

I have tried this same code without reading the file from the request, but reading it from a locally stored file and it works fine. So I know there isn’t an authentication issue.

I have only got it to work by sending it the bytes, either from local disc or local memory.

@curt.kennedy I can get the Buffer from the multer middleware. I’ve tried sending just the buffer but that didn’t work either. Is there something else I could do with the Buffer?

Hi there! I was experiencing the same issue, but I found a solution when using the node.js library or fetch: Initially, I was doing this: const file = await toFile(Buffer.from(data)); Somehow, I managed to make it work without the library, and then I asked myself: WHY?! Here is the reason: co…

Spent two days trying to figure this out. In the end, I had to use a ‘multipart/form-data’ class to encode the request; however, when I sent the encoded data, I had to omit the ‘multipart/form-data’ type from the POST request. I hope this will help others save time. Update: My code was overriding …

Here is a quick simple Python version I coded after the announcement. Works out of the gate in an AWS Lambda environment (just add a requests layer and path to the actual file). The memory version using a BytesIO object would be similar. Haven’t tried any JavaScript versions myself.
