OpenAI Whisper API error: "You must provide a model parameter"

Question

I am testing a script to convert audio to text. However, while calling the API I am getting an error.

Here is the path I am using

  'https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions?engine=whisper-1';

And the error I am getting is

"error": {
        "message": "you must provide a model parameter",
        "type": "invalid_request_error",
        "param": null,
        "code": null
    }

I have tried model=whisper-1 and model=davinci-002, both of them are raising the same error. Is there anything that I am missing?

Answer 1

Take a look at the official OpenAI documentation.

If you want to use the Whisper API, note the following:

1. Correct API endpoint: https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions
2. There are two required parameters:
   • file
   • model

Try this:

fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
  },
  body: {
    file: 'YOUR_AUDIO_FILE.mp3',
    model: 'whisper-1',
  }
});
