How to open a ticket for API bug

Hi Folks

In another thread I’ve workshopped an openAI endpoint that is intermittently broken.

I’d like to thank the community for input on that thread and now I need to open a ticket with openAI support for them to address their issue without further consuming the valuable time of the participants in this community.

I can’t easily find where to do this (all their help links just point to their info DB or this community).

Pointer on how to open a ticket with openAI? a website link or email address ?

Thank you

You can contact it here (icon in the bottom right side of the screen).

But if it is related to the API you can post here too, this forum is primarily for helping developers.

OK, that chat icon, paste in some details and get “Thanks! A member of our team will follow-up when they can.”

Thanks

“Ticket” would imply some imperative to fix and supply a disposition and resolution. We don’t quite get that.

You’ve found the only outlet, if not something like an SDK code fault you can open a GitHub issue on, and in this case it worked.

Not sure I quite understand your response. But yes a ticket to address something that is broken and supply a resolution is what I intended here, just like my customers create a ticket to track an issue I should own thru to its resolution. Not sure what “we” don’t get (who is “we”?), if you supply an API in return for money and it’s broken then yes, there is an imperative to engage it.

More directly:

TL;DR: there is no ticket system available to API developers.

We get a forum with a “bugs” category, and hope someone will read it.

Well there is that chat widget on the bottom right of the help.openai.com which was suggested in this thread and which apparently worked. Reviewing it just now there was a response confirming it’s their end and then followup on the public thread.

That’s effectively the same engagement as tix so good.

^^ Looks like we managed to do a little better than that today which is good – “hope” is a perhaps a little weak for stuff that might usually fall under an SLA.

Thanks for the context + perspective

Although it is not guaranteed, when some bug becomes more “popular” in the forums, people from OpenAI sometimes take a look and it might get a more immediate attention. They are often present in the threads here.

Also sharing your situation might encourage others with the same problem to add details, or someone might have a workaround for it.

Anyways, having a ticket won’t do any harm, so feel free to use both options.
