Unsupported data type when making API request to Azure Open AI

Question

I'm getting "unsupported data" error when trying to send post request to Azure OpenAI. What should I do to fix the error?

https://myopenai.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/code-davinci-002/completions?api-version=2023-03-15-preview&API-KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxx&content-type=application/json

api-version = 2023-03-15-preview
API-KEY = xxxxx
content-type = application/json


{
     "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
     "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test!"}],
     "temperature": 0.7
}

You are missing a chat/ in the URL. It shouldn't be

https://myopenai.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/<deployment>/completions?api-version=2023-03-15-preview&API-KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxx&content-type=application/json

but

https://myopenai.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/<deployment>/chat/completions?api-version=2023-03-15-preview&API-KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxx&content-type=application/json

I was running into the same issue and it took me forever to figure out that the endpoint for the chat API is slightly different.

I'm using just like you said, it's working BUT the data is not from my private deployment, it comes from outside world data. I asked Lady Gaga's age and it correctly answered me. I'm pretty sure we do not have it in our deployment files. Why is that? Is it because I didn't click DEPLOY? But deploys is for me to use Microsfot's app. I don't want it. I'm using CURL calls. And it's working. Just not as they're selling it, querying my own data. It's querying public data instead. – Alan Cruz Jul 20 '23 at 15:48

Seems like you may be mixing davinci model in your deployment but gpt model in your body.

I am experiencing a similar error when my model deployment is correct. Using gpt-35-turbo as an Azure deployment and api-key xxxx in header and api-version 2023-03-15-preview in url string.

400 model_error Unsupported data type.

Here is the payload.

{
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are an AI assistant that helps people find information."
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Why do some oranges have seeds and others do not?"
        }
    ]
}

Try to use prompt with ChatML instead.

For example:

{
  "prompt": "<|im_start|>system\nAssistant is a large language model trained by OpenAI.\n<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\nWhat's the difference between garbanzo beans and chickpeas?\n<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n",
  "temperature": 0.9,
  "top_p": 1,
  "frequency_penalty": 0,
  "presence_penalty": 0,
  "max_tokens": 256,
  "stop": ["<|im_end|>"]
}
