Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.9.5

Ollama Version (if applicable)

v0.24.0

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.10

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

No error

Actual Behavior

Return HTTP error 400:

{"detail":"'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'"}

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Send POST request to URL https://openwebui/api/v1/chat/completions
  2. With minimal content: {"messages":[{"content":"Who are you?","role":"user"}],"model":"gemma4:26b"}
  3. I test many models, same error.

  1. 🟣 #24550 bug: NoneType object has no attribute 'startswith' — all /api/v1/chat/completions calls return 400 (v0.9.5, direct connections)
    Reports the same 400 error with 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' on /api/v1/chat/completions in v0.9.5, and notes it affects direct external API clients. This is essentially the same failure mode and endpoint as the new issue.
    by ThefloorMiner

  2. 🟣 #24564 bug: API calls to /api/chat/completions fail: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'"
    Very close match: the title and body describe /api/chat/completions returning the exact same 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' error. It also reproduces across models and API-only usage, matching the new report.
    by da-astro · bug

  3. 🟣 #24573 issue: External API returns 400 error with 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' since v0.9.3**
    Describes the same external API failure and identical error string beginning in v0.9.3 through v0.9.5. Although it mentions a slightly different endpoint path, it is clearly the same completions API bug affecting API clients.
    by choseongho11 · bug

  4. 🟣 #24554 issue: Open WebUI v0.9.5 Broken Completions API
    This issue says v0.9.5 broke the completions API for token-authenticated clients like OpenCode and Continue Dev, which is the same symptom class and same regression window as the new issue.
    by xcjs · bug

  5. 🟣 #24575 bug: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' on /api/chat/completions when external client omits parent_id
    The error string is identical, and the report narrows the trigger to external clients omitting parent_id on /api/chat/completions. The new issue also uses a minimal external API payload and hits the same error, so this is highly related.
