Overview

Concrete type for representing a response failed webhook event provided by the openai-python SDK.

Description

ResponseFailedWebhookEvent is a Pydantic model class that represents the webhook payload sent when a background response has failed. It extends BaseModel and includes an event identifier, a Unix timestamp for when the failure occurred, a nested Data payload containing the model response ID, a literal type field fixed to "response.failed", and an optional object field fixed to "event".

Usage

Import this type when building a webhook handler that needs to process background response failure events from the OpenAI API. Use it to deserialize incoming webhook payloads and trigger error-handling, retry logic, or alerting workflows.
