Getting this error when utilizing a library for completions, this URL is correct according to the docs so what is going on?

Welcome to the forum!

I think you might be trying to use ChatCompletions API calls with Completions enpoints, can you post your API calling code please.

The URL does exist and responds.

It seems the error message includes two single-quotes - have you manually specified the URL in a way that is different than the module needs or uses by default?

Were one using the wrong endpoint for the model, you’d instead get a return message like: _“OpenAI API request was invalid: This is a chat model and not supported in the v1/completions endpoint. Did you mean to use v1/chat/completions?”_ when you have proper error handling, such as a case “ **except openai.error.InvalidRequestError as e:** ” for the openai python library.

dear, my code is  
def text\_generaton\_with\_black\_box\_LLMs(prompt,tem):  
res=openai.ChatCompletion.create(model=‘gpt-3.5-turbo’,  
messages=[  
{‘role’: ‘user’, ‘content’: prompt}],  
max\_tokens=150,  
temperature=tem,  
)  
return res  
and I got the error: Traceback (most recent call last):
