Issue with Creating and Sending Messages to Threads in a Custom Assistant

I am trying to connect my custom assistant in OpenAI with Twilio to handle WhatsApp messages. I am following the instructions provided in the forum to use three endpoints: create an assistant, create a thread, and send a message to that thread.

from flask import Flask, request
import requests
from twilio.twiml.messaging_response import MessagingResponse
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
import logging

app = Flask(__name__)
load_dotenv()

# Configure logging level
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Twilio and OpenAI configurations
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = os.getenv('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID')
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = os.getenv('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN')
OPENAI_API_KEY = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')
TWILIO_WHATSAPP_NUMBER = os.getenv('TWILIO_WHATSAPP_NUMBER')
OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID = os.getenv('OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID')

app.logger.info(f"OpenAI API Key: {OPENAI_API_KEY}")
app.logger.info(f"OpenAI Assistant ID: {OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID}")

@app.route('/whatsapp', methods=['POST'])
def whatsapp_webhook():
    try:
        incoming_msg = request.values.get('Body', '').strip()
        from_number = request.values.get('From', '')
        app.logger.info(f"Received message from {from_number}: {incoming_msg}")

        response_text = get_openai_response(incoming_msg)

        resp = MessagingResponse()
        msg = resp.message(response_text)
        app.logger.info(f"Response to {from_number}: {response_text}")
        return str(resp)
    except Exception as e:
        app.logger.error(f"Error processing message: {e}")
        return "Error processing the incoming message.", 500

def get_openai_response(message):
    try:
        headers = {
            'Authorization': f'Bearer {OPENAI_API_KEY}',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }

        # 1. Create a new thread for the conversation
        create_thread_data = {
            "assistant_id": OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID,
            "messages": [
                {"role": "user", "content": message}
            ]
        }

        thread_url = "'https://api.openai.com/v1/threads'"
        thread_response = requests.post(thread_url, headers=headers, json=create_thread_data)
        thread_response.raise_for_status()
        thread_data = thread_response.json()
        thread_id = thread_data['id']

        # 2. Send the message to the created thread
        send_message_url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/threads/{}/messages'.format(thread_id)"
        message_data = {
            "role": "user",
            "content": message
        }
        message_response = requests.post(send_message_url, headers=headers, json=message_data)
        message_response.raise_for_status()
        response_data = message_response.json()

        app.logger.info(f"OpenAI response: {response_data}")

        bot_message = response_data['messages'][0]['content'].strip()
        return bot_message
    except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as http_err:
        app.logger.error(f"HTTP error occurred: {http_err}")  # Log for HTTP errors
        app.logger.error(f"Response content: {http_err.response.text}")
        return "Error with OpenAI HTTP response: HTTP error"
    except Exception as e:
        app.logger.error(f"Error getting response from OpenAI: {e}")  # Log for other errors
        return "General error getting response from OpenAI."

if __name__ == '__main__':
    port = int(os.environ.get('PORT', 5000))
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)

I am receiving the following error when trying to send a message:
