How to get the file name to a file id ? or: How to retrieve the file_name for a file_id?

Hello community,

for some time now I am trying to figure out how to retrieve the file name associated to a file_id ?

Example:

The file to upload is called “data.csv” .

A file is uploaded or added afterwards to an existing Assistant.

Afterwards we. can list the files associated with a specific Assitant by using its assitant_id.

Let assistant_id be “asst_123456789” for example.

The following method can be used for that:

client.beta.assistants.files.list(assistant_id)

In the Object returned there is no information about the original name of the file?

Is there a way of retrieving the File Name that is associated with the fiel_id that can be retrieved ?

Or how would you go about handling this ?

Thanks in advance
