Overview

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

Description

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

Usage

Import this type when building a webhook handler that needs to process background response interruption events from the OpenAI API. Use it to deserialize incoming webhook payloads and decide whether to retry the request or handle partial results.
