# Groq

[Groq ↗](https://groq.com/) delivers high-speed processing and low-latency performance.

## Endpoint

```
https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/groq
```

## URL structure

When making requests to [Groq ↗](https://groq.com/), replace `https://api.groq.com/openai/v1` in the URL you're currently using with `https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/groq`.

## Prerequisites

When making requests to Groq, ensure you have the following:

* Your AI Gateway Account ID.
* Your AI Gateway gateway name.
* An active Groq API token.
* The name of the Groq model you want to use.

## Examples

### cURL

Example fetch request

```
curl https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/groq/chat/completions \  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {groq_api_key}' \  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \  --data '{    "messages": [      {        "role": "user",        "content": "What is Cloudflare?"      }    ],    "model": "llama3-8b-8192"}'
```

### Use Groq SDK with JavaScript

If using the [groq-sdk ↗](https://www.npmjs.com/package/groq-sdk), set your endpoint like this:

JavaScript

```
import Groq from "groq-sdk";
const apiKey = env.GROQ_API_KEY;const accountId = "{account_id}";const gatewayId = "{gateway_id}";const baseURL = `https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/${accountId}/${gatewayId}/groq`;
const groq = new Groq({  apiKey,  baseURL,});
const messages = [{ role: "user", content: "What is Cloudflare?" }];const model = "llama3-8b-8192";
const chatCompletion = await groq.chat.completions.create({  messages,  model,});
```

## OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint

You can also access Groq models using the OpenAI API schema through the [REST API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/usage/rest-api/). Send your requests to:

```
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/v1/chat/completions
```

Specify:

```
{"model": "groq/{model}"}
```
