# Groq JavaScript SDK Integration

> Use Groq's JavaScript SDK to integrate with Helicone to log your Groq usage.

<Warning>
  This integration method is maintained but no longer actively developed. For the best experience and latest features, use our new [AI Gateway](/gateway/overview) with unified API access to 100+ models.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Depending on the model you are using, you may need to adjust the base URL.
  For most cases with Groq, the base URL will be `https://groq.helicone.ai/openai/v1`.

  However, in some cases, you may need to use `https://groq.helicone.ai/v1`.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account + Generate an API Key">
    Log into [helicone](https://www.helicone.ai) or create an account. Once you have an account, you
    can generate an [API key](https://helicone.ai/developer).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set HELICONE_API_KEY as an environment variable">
    ```javascript theme={null}
    HELICONE_API_KEY=<your API key>
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Modify the base path and add a Helicone-Auth header">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```javascript Groq SDK theme={null}
      const groq = new Groq({
        apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY,
        baseUrl: "https://groq.helicone.ai/openai/v1",
        defaultHeaders: {
          "Helicone-Auth": `Bearer ${process.env.HELICONE_API_KEY}`,
        },
      });
      ```
