OpenAI (ChatGPT) Retrieve File Content

See more OpenAI ChatGPT Examples

Demonstrate how to retrieve the content of a file from OpenAI. Shows how to download to a file, or instead download to a string in memory. Rust

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// Adds the "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" header.
// This is NOT a real key.  Change the "sk-vi...." to your own key.
http.set_auth_token("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");

let file_id = "file-1H4vJq0H775gQVrjWY5jpp15".to_string();

// Download to local file.
let url = "https://api.openai.com/v1/files/{$file_id}/content".to_string();
let _ = http.set_url_var("file_id", &file_id);

// Note: Free accounts are not able to download files.
// If using a free account, you'll receive an error response:  "To help mitigate abuse, downloading of fine-tune training files is disabled for free accounts."
if http.download(&url, "c:/aaworkarea/mydata.jsonl").is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    println!("Failed");
    return;
}

println!("Downloaded OpenAI file to a local file.");

// Alternatively, download into a StringBuilder
let sb_data = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
if http.download_sb(&url, "utf-8", &sb_data).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    println!("Failed");
    return;
}

println!("Downloaded OpenAI file to a StringBuilder");

println!("file content:");
println!("{}", sb_data.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default());
