Node Giphy

Play around with Giphy's api in node

Node Giphy is a simple wrapper around Giphy's api.

Install

$ npm install giphy

Usage

First you will need to use the development api key to test. It is dc6zaTOxFJmzC but do not use this for production.

Information about production keys here

Authentication

var giphy = require( 'giphy' )( 'put key here' );

// or

var Giphy = require( 'giphy' )
  , giphy = new Giphy( 'put key here');

Methods

To see all available methods

console.log( giphy.getMethods() );

Available Methods

• search
• gifs ( multiple ids )
• gif ( single id )
• trending
• search
• translate

all methods pretty much have same api.

giphy[ methodName ]( [options,] callback );

so this url

http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs?ids=feqkVgjJpYtjy,7rzbxdu0ZEXLy

would translate into

giphy.gifs( { ids : [ 'feqkVgjJpYtjy', '7rzbxdu0ZEXLy' ]}, handleGifs );

options object is optional as well, eg.

giphy.trending( handleTrending );

Callback payloads

giphy uses the convention of error first then data. We also pass back some request information as well in the third argument

function handleTrending( err, trending, res ) {
  // ...
}
giphy.trending( handleTrending );
