Hi Team,

I am testing the Azure OpenAI Vector Store APIs using API version 2025-04-01-preview.

My Azure OpenAI resource is deployed in East US 2.

The following APIs are working successfully:


The file status is completed and I can retrieve the file metadata without any issues.

Example response:


However, when I call the documented Retrieve Vector Store File Content endpoint:


I receive the following response:


Things already verified:

  • Azure OpenAI endpoint is correct.
  • API version is 2025-04-01-preview.
  • Vector Store exists.
  • File exists.
  • File status is completed.
  • GET /vector_stores/{vector_store_id}/files/{file_id} works successfully.
  • Only the /content endpoint returns 404.

According to the preview REST API documentation, this endpoint should return the contents of the Vector Store file.

Could Microsoft confirm:

  1. Is GET /vector_stores/{vector_store_id}/files/{file_id}/content currently supported in Azure OpenAI?
  2. Is there any known issue or regional limitation for this endpoint?
  3. Has anyone successfully used this endpoint with API version 2025-04-01-preview?

Thanks in advance.
