Hi Team,

I appreciate any help on this.

I am actually building a GPT action and trying to call my external API and need to post a .zip file to my API.

This is how I have constructed my GPT schema -

{
"openapi": "3.1.0",
"info": {
"title": "",
"description": "",
"version": "v1.0.0"
},
"servers": [
{
"url": ""
}
],
"paths": {
"/fileUpload": {
"post": {
"description": "*",
"operationId": "UploadFile",
"requestBody": {
"content": {
"multipart/form-data": {
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"fileSource": {
"type": "string",
"format": "binary"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": ["fileSource", "name"]
}
}
},
"required": true
},
"responses": {
"200": {
"description": "File uploaded successfully"
},
"400": {
"description": "Error in file upload"
}
}
}
}
},
"components": {
"schemas": {}
}
}

Can someone please suggest how can make it work. I have working code built in PowerShell and that has below lines of code and that could be the reason why it is not working but the problem is not sure how to pass these values from GPT action schema -

"Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fileSource"; filename="$projectName.zip"",
"Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed$LF",

Hi @cosmic ore. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems that you are trying to upload a file to your external API using a GPT action. However, the extracts do not provide specific information on how to handle file uploads with GPT actions.

From the extracts, we can see that some users have faced issues with GPT actions not triggering external API calls. One user found that the UI wasn't saving changes to their OpenAPI schema, and they had to exit edit mode and come back in to see if any changes were made source (https://community.openai.com/t/495495). Another user found that they had incorrectly specified their schema, and including a type in the parameter’s schema solved their issue source (https://community.openai.com/t/523681).

However, these solutions may not directly apply to your issue of uploading a file. The extracts do not provide information on how to handle file uploads or how to specify Content-Disposition and Content-Type headers in the GPT action schema.

I recommend checking the OpenAI documentation or the OpenAI community forum for more specific information on handling file uploads with GPT actions. If you're still facing issues, you might want to post your question on the OpenAI community forum for more targeted help.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@trim rock surely sending a zip file from ChatGPT Custom GPT isn't possible?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

#

Based on the information provided in the extracts, there is no explicit mention of the ability to send a zip file from a ChatGPT Custom GPT.

The extracts do mention that files can be uploaded to a GPT or a ChatGPT conversation, but there is a hard limit of 512MB per file source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8555545-file-uploads-faq#h_52e5a07158). However, this information seems to be more related to the knowledge base of the GPT, rather than sending files from the GPT to an external API.

Therefore, without additional information, it's not clear whether sending a zip file from a ChatGPT Custom GPT to an external API is possible. For more specific information, you may want to refer to the OpenAI documentation or the OpenAI community forum.

@trim rock

# Define the URI of your API endpoint
$uri = "https://your-api-endpoint/fileUpload"

# Define the path to your zip file
$filePath = "path\to\your\file.zip"
$fileBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($filePath)
$fileEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding('ISO-8859-1').GetString($fileBytes)

# Create a boundary string for the multipart/form-data request
$boundary = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString()
$contentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=$boundary"

# Construct the body of the request
$bodyLines = @(
    "--$boundary",
    "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=`"fileSource`"; filename=`"$filePath`"",
    "Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed",
    "",
    $fileEnc,
    "--$boundary",
    "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=`"name`"",
    "",
    "YourFileNameHere",
    "--$boundary--"
)

$body = $bodyLines -join "`r`n"

# Make the request
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Post -ContentType $contentType -Body $body

# Handle the response
if ($response.StatusCode -eq 200) {
    "File uploaded successfully"
} else {
    "Error in file upload: $($response.StatusCode)"
}

#

The code you've provided is a PowerShell script that uploads a zip file to an API endpoint using a multipart/form-data request. Here's a breakdown of what it does:

It defines the URI of your API endpoint and the path to your zip file.
It reads the bytes of the zip file and encodes them using the 'ISO-8859-1' encoding.
It creates a boundary string for the multipart/form-data request.
It constructs the body of the request, which includes the encoded file and some additional form data.
It sends a POST request to the API endpoint with the constructed body.
It handles the response from the API.

However, based on the information provided in the extracts, it's not clear how to translate this PowerShell script into a GPT action schema for use with OpenAI's GPT models. The extracts do not provide information on how to handle file uploads or how to specify Content-Disposition and Content-Type headers in the GPT action schema.

For more specific information on how to handle file uploads with GPT actions, you may want to refer to the OpenAI documentation or the OpenAI community forum.

@trim rock As of my last update in April 2023, Custom GPT implementations provided by OpenAI do not have the capability to directly send files, such as a .zip file, as part of their API interactions. Custom GPT models, like other GPT-3 based models, primarily deal with text input and output. They do not natively support binary data handling, which is required for file operations like sending a .zip file.

If your goal is to integrate file sending capabilities (like a .zip file upload) with a GPT-based system, you would typically need to handle this separately from the GPT model. This usually involves:

Client-Side Handling: Your application's client side (which could be a web or desktop application) would handle the file selection and uploading part.

Server-Side Processing: The server, which could be a separate API or service, would receive the file, process it as needed, and possibly interact with the GPT model for any text-based processing.

GPT Model Interaction: If needed, the server can interact with the GPT model to generate or process text, which can be based on the contents or metadata of the uploaded file. This would require custom logic to extract text from the file and then feed it to the GPT model.

For instance, if you have a server endpoint to handle file uploads, you would upload the file to this endpoint first. After processing the file as needed (like extracting text or relevant data), you can then send any necessary text to the GPT model for further processing or generation tasks.

Remember, GPT's capabilities are primarily around text generation and processing, so any non-textual data needs to be handled outside of the GPT model and then possibly converted to a text format that the model can understand.
