Get a model response

responses.retrieve(strresponse_id, ResponseRetrieveParams**kwargs) -> Response
GET/responses/{response_id}

Retrieves a model response with the given ID.

ParametersExpand Collapse
response_id: str
include: Optional[List[ResponseIncludable]]

Additional fields to include in the response. See the include parameter for Response creation above for more information.

Accepts one of the following:
"file_search_call.results"
"web_search_call.results"
"web_search_call.action.sources"
"message.input_image.image_url"

include_obfuscation: Optional[bool]

When true, stream obfuscation will be enabled. Stream obfuscation adds random characters to an obfuscation field on streaming delta events to normalize payload sizes as a mitigation to certain side-channel attacks. These obfuscation fields are included by default, but add a small amount of overhead to the data stream. You can set include_obfuscation to false to optimize for bandwidth if you trust the network links between your application and the OpenAI API.

starting_after: Optional[int]

The sequence number of the event after which to start streaming.

stream: Optional[Literal[false]]

If set to true, the model response data will be streamed to the client as it is generated using server-sent events. See the Streaming section below for more information.
