🚀 Quick Start

Here's a simple example to get you started:

using GroqApiLibrary;
using System.Text.Json.Nodes;

var apiKey = "your_api_key_here";
var groqApi = new GroqApiClient(apiKey);

var request = new JsonObject
{
    ["model"] = "mixtral-8x7b-32768",
    ["messages"] = new JsonArray
    {
        new JsonObject
        {
            ["role"] = "user",
            ["content"] = "Hello, Groq! What can you do?"
        }
    }
};

var result = await groqApi.CreateChatCompletionAsync(request);
Console.WriteLine(result?["choices"]?[0]?["message"]?["content"]?.ToString());

📚 Detailed Usage

Chat Completions

Standard Chat Completion

var request = new JsonObject
{
    ["model"] = "mixtral-8x7b-32768",
    ["temperature"] = 0.7,
    ["max_tokens"] = 150,
    ["messages"] = new JsonArray
    {
        new JsonObject
        {
            ["role"] = "system",
            ["content"] = "You are a helpful assistant."
        },
        new JsonObject
        {
            ["role"] = "user",
            ["content"] = "Write a haiku about artificial intelligence."
        }
    }
};

var result = await groqApi.CreateChatCompletionAsync(request);
Console.WriteLine(result?["choices"]?[0]?["message"]?["content"]?.ToString());

Streaming Chat Completion

var request = new JsonObject
{
    ["model"] = "mixtral-8x7b-32768",
    ["messages"] = new JsonArray
    {
        new JsonObject
        {
            ["role"] = "user",
            ["content"] = "Explain the concept of quantum entanglement."
        }
    }
};

await foreach (var chunk in groqApi.CreateChatCompletionStreamAsync(request))
{
    var delta = chunk?["choices"]?[0]?["delta"]?["content"]?.ToString() ?? string.Empty;
    Console.Write(delta);
}

Audio Transcription

using (var audioStream = File.OpenRead("path/to/your/audio.mp3"))
{
    var result = await groqApi.CreateTranscriptionAsync(
        audioStream,
        "audio.mp3",
        "whisper-large-v3",
        prompt: "Transcribe the following tech conference",
        language: "en"
    );
    Console.WriteLine(result?["text"]?.ToString());
}

Audio Translation

using (var audioStream = File.OpenRead("path/to/your/french_audio.mp3"))
{
    var result = await groqApi.CreateTranslationAsync(
        audioStream,
        "french_audio.mp3",
        "whisper-large-v3",
        prompt: "Translate the following French speech to English"
    );
    Console.WriteLine(result?["text"]?.ToString());
}

Tool Usage

Enhance your AI's capabilities by integrating custom tools. Here's an example using a simple math calculator:

var calculateTool = new Tool
{
    Type = "function",
    Function = new Function
    {
        Name = "calculate",
        Description = "Perform a mathematical calculation",
        Parameters = new JsonObject
        {
            ["type"] = "object",
            ["properties"] = new JsonObject
            {
                ["expression"] = new JsonObject
                {
                    ["type"] = "string",
                    ["description"] = "The mathematical expression to evaluate"
                }
            },
            ["required"] = new JsonArray { "expression" }
        },
        ExecuteAsync = async (args) =>
        {
            var jsonArgs = JsonDocument.Parse(args);
            var expression = jsonArgs.RootElement.GetProperty("expression").GetString();
            try
            {
                var result = new System.Data.DataTable().Compute(expression, null);
                return JsonSerializer.Serialize(new { result = result.ToString() });
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return JsonSerializer.Serialize(new { error = $"Error calculating: {ex.Message}" });
            }
        }
    }
};

var tools = new List<Tool> { calculateTool };
var model = "mixtral-8x7b-32768";
var systemMessage = "You are an assistant that can perform calculations.";
var userPrompt = "What is the square root of 144 plus 50?";

var result = await groqApi.RunConversationWithToolsAsync(userPrompt, tools, model, systemMessage);
Console.WriteLine(result);

Listing Available Models

To retrieve a list of available AI models:

var modelsResponse = await groqApi.ListModelsAsync();
if (modelsResponse != null && modelsResponse.TryGetPropertyValue("data", out var dataNode))
{
    var models = dataNode.AsArray();
    foreach (var model in models)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(model?["id"]?.GetValue<string>());
    }
}

🎛️ Advanced Configuration

Error Handling

The library uses exception handling to manage errors. Always wrap your API calls in try-catch blocks for robust error management:

try
{
    var result = await groqApi.CreateChatCompletionAsync(request);
    // Process result
}
catch (HttpRequestException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"API request failed: {e.Message}");
}
catch (JsonException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Failed to parse API response: {e.Message}");
}
