Control Escape characters cause a 400 Bad Request

[rmalde]

Control escape characters (like u+001b) sent in the request cause a 400 bad request error.

�package main

import (
	"context"

	"github.com/openai/openai-go"
)

func main() {
	client := openai.NewClient()
	model := "gpt-4o-mini"
	ctx := context.Background()
	messages := []openai.ChatCompletionMessageParamUnion{
		openai.SystemMessage("You are an AI model"),
		openai.UserMessage("Hello\x1BWorld"),
	}

	params := openai.ChatCompletionNewParams{
		Messages:            openai.F(messages),
		Model:               openai.String(model),
	}

	chatCompletion, err := client.Chat.Completions.New(ctx, params)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
	println(chatCompletion.Choices[0].Message.Content)
}

panic: POST "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions": 400 Bad Request {
            "error": {
                "message": "We could not parse the JSON body of your request. (HINT: This likely means you aren't using your HTTP library correctly. The OpenAI API expects a JSON payload, but what was sent was not valid JSON. If you have trouble figuring out how to fix this, please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.)",
                "type": "invalid_request_error",
                "param": null,
                "code": null
            }
        }

This is handled gracefully on the sashabaranov/go-openai library

Thanks!

Thanks for flagging this, this is a known issue which will be addressed in the beta release. In the meantime, you can pass openai.Raw(json.RawMessage), to override any field with raw json.

Looks like workaround using openai.Raw also doesn't work.

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/openai/openai-go"
)

func main() {
	embeddingParam := openai.EmbeddingNewParams{
		Input: openai.Raw[openai.EmbeddingNewParamsInputUnion]("Hello\x1BWorld"),
	}
	req, err := json.Marshal(embeddingParam)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(req))
}

@dipeshdulal "Hello\x1BWorld" isn't valid JSON, you need to json.Marshall it first. Here's a working example:

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/openai/openai-go"
)

func main() {
	input, _ := json.Marshal("Hello\x1BWorld")

	embeddingParam := openai.EmbeddingNewParams{
		Input: openai.Raw[openai.EmbeddingNewParamsInputUnion](string(input)),
	}
	req, err := json.Marshal(embeddingParam)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(req))
}

Result:

{"input":"\"Hello\\u001bWorld\""}

Fixed in 0.1.0-alpha.51
