# mirascope.core.groq.call
## <ApiType type="Alias" path="core/groq/call" symbolName="call" /> call
A decorator for calling the Groq API with a typed function.
<Info title="Usage">
[Calls](/docs/v1/learn/calls)
</Info>
This decorator is used to wrap a typed function that calls the Groq API. It parses
the prompt template of the wrapped function as the messages array and templates the input
arguments for the function into each message's template.
Example:
```python
from mirascope.core import prompt_template
from mirascope.core.groq import groq_call
@groq_call("llama-3.1-8b-instant")
def recommend_book(genre: str) -> str:
return f"Recommend a {genre} book"
response = recommend_book("fantasy")
print(response.content)
```
