Documentation for Upload API

[pavitran]

I've just created an app on GIphy Dashboard, and got an API key. I've searched a lot but couldn't find any documentation on uploading GIFs to Giphy. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance

[pavitran]

I tried the below with the current API key,
curl -v -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' -H 'Accept: application/json' -F "file=@giph.gif" http://upload.giphy.com/v1/gifs?api_key=api_key
but I'm getting

{"meta":{"status":401,"msg":"Unauthorized","error_code":"invalid_api_key","response_id":"59aa47cf65546543326d2cfc"}}

HI @pavitran we're working on updating the developer documentation with updated Upload specs. As soon as it's available we'll make an announcement - should be available soon!

I got the same error. Please provide the documentation.
Why is the key addressed as invalid when it is actually valid.

[dfinkler]

@shwetachitlangia it's on its way! We'll be sure to update + close all open documentation request issues when the updated upload docs are live.

news? :)

[dfinkler]

@davidseek we're very close to rereleasing the upload API and should have updates very soon!

[dfinkler]

quick update on this - we are working with a 3rd party developer to address a bug in a piece of software we use to help manage our infrastructure. Once this bug is addressed we will re-release the documentation and support public access to the upload api

[davidseek]

Alright. Waiting for it. Our project basically waits to be able to upload the GIFs now :)

[DavidNV]

Hello @dfinkler Thank your for hard work. Could you gie heads up when the docs are released? Again, thank you.

[davidseek]

News?

[nickbullock]

Waiting for it :)

[dfinkler]

We'll be sure to update this thread as soon as we have news!

[alaslipknot]

Any update ?
My app (mobile game) is still on "pending" and i can't find the Public Upload API key anywhere, thanks!

[xaphod]

Yo @dfinkler it's been some more months any update? I'd like to support publishing GIFs made by my app to Giphy.

Hey, sorry for the late response. This is available now here https://developers.giphy.com/docs/, and look for "upload API: Upload Endpoint" section.

Hi! How should I use Upload API with Unity (C#)? Can't make it work(((
Docs don't say how to pass File params. Is it a path? Or it is a base64 encoded string? Or it is just a byte array converted to string?

[erikmf12]

@hippogamesunity Did you ever figure out how to do this?

[hippogamesunity]

@erikmf12 Still not. I've received production key, but still unable to upload GIF. Have no response from support team.

[hippogamesunity]

@erikmf12
here is my working C# code

var form = new WWWForm();

form.AddField("api_key", apiKey);
form.AddField("username", "pixelstudio");
form.AddBinaryData("file", binary, fileName, "application/octet-stream");
form.AddField("tags", tags);

Download with WWWForm class (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WWWForm.html)

Note, you should specify API key twice, in WWWForm and in URL.

[erikmf12]

@hippogamesunity What type is your 'binary' variable? Is it a base64 encoded byte array?

[hippogamesunity]

It is byte array.

[LanXiaoPang613]

[hippogamesunity]

@LanXiaoPang613 https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WWWForm.html

[LanXiaoPang613]

oh, thx, i have resolve it ,anyway, thank for your reply.

[LanXiaoPang613]

Hi guys, when i was httppost the url, its result is forbidden, did you meet this error?

[hippogamesunity]

@LanXiaoPang613

• check "username"
• check api_key in two places
• you must have approved key (have to wait a few days in my case after approve)

[pierasg]

I see that some of you have gone through this successfully, still I want to share this quick solution I've found using NodeJS.

[mojpg]

@pierasg Can I add that code as an example to the documentation in order to close this issue?
