The Giphy Core SDK is a wrapper around Giphy API.
Giphy is the best way to search, share, and discover GIFs on the Internet. Similar to the way other search engines work, the majority of our content comes from indexing based on the best and most popular GIFs and search terms across the web. We organize all those GIFs so you can find the good content easier and share it out through your social channels. We also feature some of our favorite GIF artists and work with brands to create and promote their original GIF content.

// Configure your API Key
GiphyCore.configure(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")Search all Giphy GIFs for a word or phrase. Punctuation will be stripped and ignored.
/// Gif Search
let op = GiphyCore.shared.search("cats") { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Do what you want with the error
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data, let pagination = response.pagination {
print(response.meta)
print(pagination)
for result in data {
print(result)
}
} else {
print("No Results Found")
}
}
/// Sticker Search
let op = GiphyCore.shared.search("dogs", media: .sticker) { (response, error) in
//...
}Fetch GIFs currently trending online. Hand curated by the Giphy editorial team. The data returned mirrors the GIFs showcased on the Giphy homepage.
/// Trending GIFs
let op = GiphyCore.shared.trending() { (response, error) in
//...
}
/// Trending Stickers
let op = GiphyCore.shared.trending(.sticker) { (response, error) in
//...
}The translate API draws on search, but uses the Giphy "special sauce" to handle translating from one vocabulary to another. In this case, words and phrases to GIFs. Example implementations of translate can be found in the Giphy Slack, Hipchat, Wire, or Dasher integrations. Use a plus or url encode for phrases.
/// Translate to a GIF
let op = GiphyCore.shared.translate("cats") { (response, error) in
//...
}
/// Translate to a Sticker
let op = GiphyCore.shared.translate("cats", media: .sticker) { (response, error) in
//...
}Returns a random GIF, limited by tag. Excluding the tag parameter will return a random GIF from the Giphy catalog.
/// Random GIF
let op = GiphyCore.shared.random("cats") { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Do what you want with the error
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data {
print(response.meta)
print(data)
} else {
print("No Result Found")
}
}
/// Random Sticker
let op = GiphyCore.shared.random("cats", media: .sticker) { (response, error) in
//...
}Returns meta data about a GIF, by GIF id. In the below example, the GIF ID is "feqkVgjJpYtjy"
/// Gif by Id
let op = GiphyCore.shared.gifByID("feqkVgjJpYtjy") { (response, error) in
//...
}A multiget version of the get GIF by ID endpoint. In this case the IDs are feqkVgjJpYtjy and 7rzbxdu0ZEXLy.
/// GIFs by Ids
let ids = ["feqkVgjJpYtjy", "7rzbxdu0ZEXLy"]
let op = GiphyCore.shared.gifsByIDs(ids) { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Do what you want with the error
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data, let pagination = response.pagination {
print(response.meta)
print(pagination)
for result in data {
print(result)
}
} else {
print("No Result Found")
}
}A multiget version of the get GIF by ID endpoint. In this case the IDs are feqkVgjJpYtjy and 7rzbxdu0ZEXLy.
/// Get top trending categories for GIFs.
let op = GiphyCore.shared.categoriesForGifs() { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Do what you want with the error
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data, let pagination = response.pagination {
print(response.meta)
print(pagination)
for result in data {
print(result)
}
} else {
print("No Top Categories Found")
}
}Get Sub-Categories for GIFs given a cateory. You will need this sub-category object to pull GIFs for this category.
/// Sub-Categories for a given category.
let category = "actions"
let op = GiphyCore.shared.subCategoriesForGifs(category) { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Do what you want with the error
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data, let pagination = response.pagination {
print(response.meta)
print(pagination)
for subcategory in data {
print(subcategory)
}
} else {
print("No Result Found")
}
}Get GIFs for a given Sub-Category.
/// Sub-Category Content
let category = "actions"
let subCategory = "cooking"
let op = GiphyCore.shared.gifsByCategory(category, subCategory: subCategory) { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Do what you want with the error
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data, let pagination = response.pagination {
print(response.meta)
print(pagination)
for result in data {
print(result)
}
} else {
print("No GIFs Found")
}
}Get term suggestions give a search term, or a substring.
/// Term Suggestions
let op = GiphyCore.shared.termSuggestions("carm") { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Do what you want with the error
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data {
print(response.meta)
for term in data {
print(term)
}
} else {
print("No Terms Suggestions Found")
}
}We added support for you to filter results of any models out during requests. Here are few use cases below in code:
GiphyCore.setFilter(filter: { obj in
if let obj = obj as? GPHMedia {
// Check to see if this Media object has tags
// Say we only want GIFs/Stickers with tags, otherwise filter them out
return obj.tags == nil
} else if let obj = obj as? GPHChannel {
// We only want channels which have featured Gifs
return obj.featuredGif != false
}
// Otherwise this is a valid object, don't filter it out
return true
})We figured you might want to attach extra data to our models such us GPHMedia .. so now all our models have userDictionary
which you can attach any sort of object along with any of our models.
/// Gif Search
let op = GiphyCore.shared.search("cats") { (response, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
......
}
if let response = response, let data = response.data, let pagination = response.pagination {
for result in data {
result.userDictionary = ["Description" : "Results from Cats Search"]
}
} else {
print("No Results Found")
}
