Does the OpenAI Batch API preserve the order of submitted requests?

Katherine Sullivan 53 21 Oct 2026

I’m looking at the OpenAI Batch API for a job that sends thousands of independent prompts. If the results come back in a different order from the input file, is there a reliable identifier I should use to match each response to its original request?

I’d rather not depend on the output sequence staying the same between batches. What has worked for people processing batch results in production?
