Vision example throws an error #2776

Description

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

  • This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

The script from the readme throws a 400 error

openai.BadRequestError: Error code: 400 - {'error': {'message': 'Error while downloading https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/2023_06_08_Raccoon1.jpg/1599px-2023_06_08_Raccoon1.jpg.', 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': 'url', 'code': 'invalid_value'}}

I believe the image might be too big?

Note: This may just be a docs issue

To Reproduce

  1. Run the readme script for vision
  2. See the error

    api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
)

prompt = "What is in this image?"
img_url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/2023_06_08_Raccoon1.jpg/1599px-2023_06_08_Raccoon1.jpg"

response = client.responses.create(
