Giphy.js

Giphy.js is a JavaScript wrapper for the Giphy API.

Please refer to Giphy's API documentation for API usage as this JavaScript library follows it exactly at the time of last commit.

Usage

giphy.js is exported as an UMD.

Install from npm:

npm install giphy.js

// or with yarn

yarn add giphy.js

Import using one of these methods:

import Giphy from 'giphy.js';

or

const Giphy = require('giphy.js');

To import Giphy.js in web, you can:

<script src='giphy.js'></script>

and access using

window.Giphy

Then initialise with an API key:

const giphy = new Giphy('dc6zaTOxFJmzC');

(do not use the example key seen here provided by giphy in production).

Endpoint methods with example objects

In all examples, endpoint methods return a Promise. However, they can also accept two additional arguments for success and error callback functions - e.g.

giphy.random({
  rating: 'y',
  fmt: 'json',
  tag: 'chiptune'
},
(response) => {
  console.log(response);
},
(error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

Please see the example page by running npm run devor the GitHub Pages site for a working example.
