Why Can't I Retrieve Content of Fine-Tuning Files via the API?

Answer:

The error message you received—

JSONCopied
{ 
  "error": { 
    "code": null, 
    "message": "Not allowed to download files of purpose: fine-tune", 
    "param": null, 
    "type": "invalid_request_error" 
  } 
}

—indicates that files uploaded with the purpose "fine-tune" are not permitted to have their contents downloaded via the API. In other words, there is a limitation based on the file’s assigned purpose: files intended for fine-tuning cannot be retrieved through a download endpoint.
