R POST request for model gpt-3.5-turbo not working

General API discussion

Hello everyone,

I share with you my code bellow to get a response from a POST request with R :

param ← list(model=“gpt-3.5-turbo”,messages = c(“role” = “user”,“content” = “Hello”))

result ← POST(“https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions”,body = param,add_headers(Authorization=openai_secret_key), encode = “json”)

Here is the result :

Response [https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions]
Date: 2023-03-02 16:28
Status: 400
Content-Type: application/json
Size: 158 B
{
“error”: {
“message”: “‘user’ is not of type ‘object’ - ‘messages.0’”,
“type”: “invalid_request_error”,
“param”: null,
“code”: null
}
}

So the user and the content part is not working. Do you have an idea why ?

Thanks a lot

user’ is not of type ‘object

Messages needs to be an array of objects…

Thanks

Its all in the chat docs here, @raph

Its a great idea to take 5 minutes and read the API docs.

I have read the API doc, actually I am able make it work with PHP and the bellow json code works perfectly in postman, my issue is with R

{
“model”:“gpt-3.5-turbo”,
“messages”:[
{
“role”:“user”,
“content”:“Hello!”
}
]
}
