API

Using the platform.openai.com website, I see my list of uploaded files. I select one, I see that it has a filename. A copy its vector_store_id and file_id. However, when I retrieve this file using the API, the filename does not apear. How to solve this?

file=client.beta.vector_stores.files.retrieve(vector_store_id=vector_store_id, file_id=file_id)
print(file.to_json())

{
  "id": "file-Z80edd3ZDAkbrm43V....",
  "created_at": 1724176263,
  "last_error": null,
  "object": "vector_store.file",
  "status": "completed",
  "usage_bytes": 3616248,
  "vector_store_id": "vs_GX6dQ1CuAlkpYKVrHB....",
  "chunking_strategy": {
    "static": {
      "chunk_overlap_tokens": 400,
      "max_chunk_size_tokens": 800
    },
    "type": "static"
  }
}

Same issue here. name is not returned from retrieve method.
Lack the name attribute for VectorStoreFile. openai version openai-1.42.0

Why they can’t put the file name on the vector file object is crazy. If you look at the vector files in their system it show the name. Crazy

Exactly the same problem here. I have a vector file store with several files and I want to make sure that there are no redundant uploads. It would be very easy if I could check the actual uploaded file attributes (name, size etc)

it’s things like this that make me really hope the Assistants API is not going to be sunsetted for something else. i have no idea why they wouldn’t have added this by now.
