v6.29.0

What’s New

This release brings the Node-RED OpenAI API node up to date with the latest OpenAI Node SDK through v6.29.0.

That includes the bigger v6.28.0 parity work as well as the smaller v6.29.0 follow-up.

On the video side, the node now covers the newer OpenAI video methods for character creation, character retrieval, video edit, and video extension, alongside the existing video flow support already in the project. The editor surface, in-node help, examples, and README were updated so the video capabilities are easier to find and understand.

On the Responses side, the WebSocket path was tightened for custom API bases. If you are using a compatible provider and your base URL includes query parameters, the WebSocket URL is now built correctly without changing the existing Node-RED connect, send, and close workflow.

This release also improves the shipped examples. Import-ready video coverage was added, and the example flows no longer come bundled with a prewired Service Host config node. That means imported flows arrive in a cleaner state and are ready for you to configure with your own host settings.

Finally, this release includes the v6.29.0 custom voice alignment work. Speech-related documentation now reflects the current OpenAI voice support more accurately, including both built-in voices and saved custom voice ids where supported. The runtime already handled that cleanly, so this part of the update was mainly about making sure the docs and tests matched the real behavior.

In Short

This release updates the project through OpenAI Node SDK v6.29.0, including:

• expanded video support
• cleaner Responses WebSocket handling for custom API bases
• better examples and README coverage
• updated speech voice documentation and regression coverage
