Get response data when the status is not in 200-300

[noobnooc]

I used this package to access the OpenAI API. However, when the response has a status code outside of the range 200-300, an error occurs. The UnsuccessfulResponseError object only includes a responseStatus field, but OpenAI responded with a JSON error message like the following:

{
  "error": {
    "param": null,
    "message": "Rate limit reached for default-gpt-3.5-turbo in organization org-xxx on requests per minute. Limit: 20 / min. Current: 30 / min. Contact support@openai.com if you continue to have issues. Please add a payment method to your account to increase your rate limit. Visit https:\/\/platform.openai.com\/account\/billing to add a payment method.",
    "code": null,
    "type": "requests"
  }
}

I would like to retrieve the message from this error response, but I couldn't find a way to do it. Is it possible to do so with the current version? If not, could you please add this functionality in a future release?

👋 Hi @noobnooc

There is not a way to retrieve the body of the failed response with the way the library currently operates. I have filed your request to add support for it as sc-192056.

I will check with the team today about whether or not this is something we can support and when we might have a timeline for completion. I will keep you updated as I know more.

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, and having access to the error response would be very helpful.
I very much appreciate the work you have put into this already. The library has been working great for me this far!

And to be clear: The error response would only need to be available in the onError callback. At least in my scenario, I do not need need the error to be streamed to the onMessage method.

@keelerm84 Have you solved this problem? Do you have a plan to solve it? We urgently need to know the wrong response code
