I think I know the answer to this question but just want to confirm. It seems the 400 behavior is different when using a file vs the documents
parameter when calling the Answers endpoint.
For example, when I use a file and ask a question with an answer that can’t be derived from the documents the API throws a 400 error. However, if I make the same request, with the same question, and the same documents, but provide the documents using the documents
parameter, I don’t get a 400 error. Rather, I get an answer that could be way outside the scope of my documents.
My assumption is that this is because the “two-step search procedure” is being used with the file and not the documents sent via the documents
parameter.
Can someone confirm or clarify this for me?
