I wrote a Giphy bot a while back and my friends loved it. It sends a search request to Giphy,that displays a completely random response, so you never know exactly what you're going to get. Re-wrote it for Lita so I could switch the bot so something more extensible.
Add lita-gifme to your Lita instance's Gemfile:
gem "lita-gifme"Giphy requires an API key registered to you. It's needed so you can do a request for a list of gifs based on the search request.
Add it to your lita_config file
config.handlers.gifme.api_key = ""
Request:
lita gifme kids falling down
Potential response from Giphy?:
