@vagrant idol is this the correct way to upload file to openai? do you see something wrong here?

export const uploadFile = functions.https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
const fileContent = data.file; // Base64-encoded file content
const purpose = data.purpose || 'assistants';

try {
const buffer = Buffer.from(fileContent, 'base64');
const tmpFilePath = path.join(os.tmpdir(), upload_${Date.now()});
fs.writeFileSync(tmpFilePath, buffer);

const fileStream = fs.createReadStream(tmpFilePath);

const file = await openai.files.create({
  purpose: purpose,
  file: fileStream,
});

fs.unlinkSync(tmpFilePath);

return { fileId: file.id };

} catch (err) {
console.error("Error uploading file:", err);
throw new functions.https.HttpsError('internal', 'Error uploading file', err);
}
});

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

Based on the information provided in the extracts, your code seems to be on the right track for uploading a file to OpenAI. However, there are a few things to note:

The file you're uploading should be in a format supported by OpenAI. According to an issue on OpenAI's GitHub (https://github.com/openai/openai-python/issues/727), the supported formats include 'c', 'cpp', 'csv', 'docx', 'html', 'java', 'json', 'md', 'pdf', 'php', 'pptx', 'py', 'rb', 'tex', 'txt', 'css', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'js', 'gif', 'png', 'tar', 'ts', 'xlsx', 'xml', 'zip'.
The maximum file upload size is 1 GB, as mentioned in the OpenAI's fine-tuning guide (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning).
The 'purpose' parameter in the file upload request should be set to the intended use of the file. In your case, it's set to 'assistants', which seems appropriate if you're using the file for an assistant model.
After the file is uploaded, it may take some time to process. You can still create a fine-tuning job, but it will not start until the file processing has completed.

Here's the Python code snippet from the OpenAI's fine-tuning guide (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning) for reference:

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

client.files.create(
 file=open("mydata.jsonl", "rb"),
 purpose="fine-tune"
)

Please note that the code is in Python, and you're using JavaScript. The logic remains the same, but the syntax and some function calls might differ.

If you're still facing issues, the error message you're receiving could provide more insights into what might be going wrong.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but the information extracts provided do not include a JavaScript version of the file upload code for OpenAI. The Python code provided in the extracts is for reference and the logic remains the same, but the syntax and some function calls might differ in JavaScript.

However, based on the Python code and your JavaScript code, your function seems to be on the right track. You're correctly creating a read stream from the file and passing it to the openai.files.create method.

Please ensure that you're using the correct OpenAI client and that it's properly authenticated. If you're still facing issues, the error message you're receiving could provide more insights into what might be going wrong.

For more detailed information, you may want to refer to the OpenAI API documentation (https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference).

@vagrant idol the assistant responds that the file content is not readable. im getting a file_id tho

vagrant idolBOT Feb 25, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

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

#

The error message you're receiving suggests that while the file is being uploaded and a file_id is being generated, the content of the file may not be in a readable format for the OpenAI API.

Here are a few things you could check:

File Format: Ensure that the file you're uploading is in a format supported by OpenAI. The supported formats include 'c', 'cpp', 'csv', 'docx', 'html', 'java', 'json', 'md', 'pdf', 'php', 'pptx', 'py', 'rb', 'tex', 'txt', 'css', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'js', 'gif', 'png', 'tar', 'ts', 'xlsx', 'xml', 'zip'.
File Encoding: You're encoding the file content in Base64 before creating a buffer from it. Ensure that the original file content is correctly encoded in Base64.
File Content: If the file is in a supported format and correctly encoded, check the actual content of the file. If the file is supposed to be a text file, try opening it in a text editor to see if the content looks correct. If it's a binary file (like an image or a PDF), try opening it with an appropriate application to see if it's not corrupted.
API Usage: Make sure you're using the OpenAI API correctly. After uploading the file, you should be able to retrieve the file content using the file_id with the files.retrieve_content method as shown in the Python API library issue (https://github.com/openai/openai-python/issues/819) extract.

If you're still having issues, please provide more details about the file you're trying to upload and the exact error message you're receiving. This will help in diagnosing the problem.

@vagrant idol assistant's reply:

The binary data does not match any of the common file signatures that I checked, so the file type remains unidentified using this method. Without this information, it is challenging to provide a clear description or analysis of the file's contents.
There are still a few options to proceed:
If you have any additional information about the potential type of this file, sharing that could be helpful in identifying it.
If the file might be an image or a document, I could try to interpret the binary data directly as if it were one of these types to see if that provides meaningful results.
If it's possible this file could be a compressed archive, I could attempt to decompress it and analyze its contents further.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed or if there is any other information you can provide about the file in question.

@vagrant idol

On web i'm passing the entire file object and it's working, but on mobile (android) using expo-document-picker it's not the case with the result file that looks like this :

LOG {"mimeType": "application/pdf", "name": "details.pdf", "size": 45957, "uri": "file:///data/user/0/com.jimmy20a.qms2gomobile/cache/DocumentPicker/257afaec-2a63-4d33-9b99-6d89f4f0a26e.pdf"}

i see error:

ERROR Error uploading document: [TypeError: Network request failed]

how to pass the object file? need to somehow format it first?

export async function uploadDocument(doc) {
try {
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', doc);
formData.append('purpose', "assistants");

  // Use OpenAI REST API to upload the file
  const response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/files', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': "Bearer",
    },
    body: formData,
  });

  const result = await response.json();
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000)); 

  return {
    fileId: result.id,
    type: doc.mimeType,
  };
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Error uploading document:", error);
  throw error;
}

}

Based on the information provided in the extracts, the issue you're encountering with uploading a file from a mobile device using expo-document-picker seems to be related to how the file object is being passed in the FormData. The error [TypeError: Network request failed] typically indicates a problem with the network request, which in this context, could be due to how the file data is formatted or attached to the request.

From the extracts, there's a specific mention in the official answer on the OpenAI forum (https://community.openai.com/t/577521) about the correct way to handle file uploads using FormData in JavaScript. The key takeaway is that when using multipart/form-data for file uploads, the body of the request should not be a JSON string. Instead, it should be a FormData object that contains the file stream and other fields. However, your current approach seems to align with this guidance, suggesting the issue might be elsewhere.

Given the error and the code snippet you've shared, it seems like the problem might be with how the file object from expo-document-picker is being handled. The doc object you're appending to formData might not be in the correct format expected by the fetch API for file uploads. Specifically, the fetch API might require the file to be appended as a Blob or File object with a specified type and name, rather than directly passing the object obtained from expo-document-picker.

Unfortunately, the extracts provided do not include a direct solution to this specific scenario. However, based on common practices for handling file uploads in JavaScript, you might need to convert the file URI to a Blob and then append it to the FormData. Here's a conceptual approach to how you might adjust your code:

#

export async function uploadDocument(doc) {
  try {
    const fileResponse = await fetch(doc.uri);
    const blob = await fileResponse.blob();

    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('file', blob, doc.name);
    formData.append('purpose', "assistants");

    // Use OpenAI REST API to upload the file
    const response = await fetch('<https://api.openai.com/v1/files',> {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
      },
      body: formData,
    });

    const result = await response.json();
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));

    return {
      fileId: result.id,
      type: doc.mimeType,
    };
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error uploading document:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}

Please replace "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with your actual OpenAI API key.

This approach involves fetching the file from its local URI to create a `Blob`, which is then appended to the `FormData` with the correct filename (`doc.name`). Note that this is a conceptual solution based on common practices and the information available in the extracts.

I'm sorry for the confusion, but based on the extracts provided, there isn't a direct solution or code snippet that addresses the specific issue of uploading a file from a mobile device using expo-document-picker to OpenAI's API. The extracts do not include details on handling file uploads in this particular context or troubleshooting the [TypeError: Network request failed] error in a mobile development environment like Expo.

However, the error you're encountering typically suggests a problem with the network request itself, which could be due to several factors including but not limited to:

Incorrectly formatted FormData.
Network connectivity issues on the device.
Misconfiguration in the request headers or method.
The file object not being correctly prepared or recognized by the fetch API.

Given the lack of specific guidance in the provided extracts, I recommend consulting the Expo DocumentPicker documentation (https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/document-picker/) and the OpenAI API documentation (https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference) for more detailed information on handling file uploads and API requests, respectively.

For troubleshooting, ensure that:

Your API key is correctly included in the Authorization header.
The file object is correctly converted to a format accepted by the fetch API (e.g., Blob or File object with appropriate type and name properties).
You're able to make other types of API requests successfully from your mobile application, to rule out broader network or configuration issues.
