Item is not an object

Error message

Item is not an object

What it means

The codex bulk-import route iterates the accounts array and validates each entry: it must be a non-null, non-array object. Anything else (null, string, number, array) throws 'Item is not an object'; the error is caught per-item and counted as a failure rather than aborting the whole import.

Solutions

1. Ensure every element of accounts is a JSON object like {"accessToken": "...", ...}.
2. Remove null/placeholder entries from the array before importing.
3. If you have bare token strings, wrap each in an object: { accessToken: token }.

Example fix

// before
{ "accounts": ["eyJhbGciOi...", null] }
// after
{ "accounts": [{ "accessToken": "eyJhbGciOi..." }] }

const bad = accounts.findIndex(
  (a) => !a || typeof a !== "object" || Array.isArray(a)
);
if (bad !== -1) console.error(`accounts[${bad}] is not an object`);

const isImportItem = (x) =>
  x !== null && typeof x === "object" && !Array.isArray(x);

try {
  const res = await bulkImport(accounts);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message === "Item is not an object") {
    console.error("Filter accounts to plain objects and retry");
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: POSTing to /api/oauth/codex/bulk-import with accounts containing null, a string (e.g. a raw token instead of an object), an array, or a number at one of the positions.

Common situations: Pasting a JSON array of token strings instead of objects, exporting from another tool with a different shape, a trailing comma producing null in hand-edited JSON, or a shell tool mangling the payload.

Understand the failure class

Background: Schema validation failed / invalid input schema: payload rejected because its shape doesn't match the expected schema — this error's family across 28 libraries.
