Giphy is an animated GIF search engine.
The Giphy API is open to the public. We have instituted a simple, single public beta key system to let anyone try it out. The API key is required for all endpoints.
- The public beta key is "dc6zaTOxFJmzC”
Please use this key while you develop your application and experiment with your integrations. Note: the public key is subject to rate limit constraints and we do not encourage live production deployments to use the public key.
Once you’re ready to use the Giphy API in production, please visit api.giphy.com/submit to request a production API key. In your submission, please be prepared to provide the following:
-
Your app name with brief description, web / app store links, etc.
-
The 'live date' of the app and feature that integrates with the API. Briefly describe how the Giphy API integrates with your app and provide screenshots of the implementation.
-
As per our section 5 A of our terms of service, we require all apps that use the Giphy API to conspicuously display "Powered By Giphy" attribution marks where the API is utilized. You can find approved official logo marks here. Please provide screenshots of your attribution placement.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at api@giphy.com. Please submit API corrections via github issues. Please see our terms of service for any restrictions on using the service. We also recommend using the JSONview plugin for Firefox or Chrome to view the API responses in your browser.
The Giphy API provides the following JSON endpoints:
- search
- GIF by id
- GIFs by id
- translate
- random
- trending
- stickers (search, translate, random, trending)
The search endpoint replicates the search found on Giphy. Translate is an experimental endpoint designed to be used for GIF dialects and random returns a single random GIF, optionally limited to a specified tag. Learn more about the rest in the documentation below.
The Giphy API implements a REST-like interface. Connections can be made with any HTTP enabled programming language. The Giphy API also implements CORS, allowing you to connect to Giphy from JavaScript / Web browsers on your own domain.

This is prototype endpoint for using Giphy as a translation engine for a GIF dialect. 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. Use a plus or url encode for phrases.
http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/translate?s=superman&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC
Example translate query.
/v1/gifs/translate
- s - term or phrase to translate into a GIF
- rating - limit results to those rated (y,g, pg, pg-13 or r).
- fmt - (optional) return results in html or json format (useful for viewing responses as GIFs to debug/test)

Once you are ready to use the Giphy STICKER API in production, please contact api@giphy.com to request a unique API key. Please make the subject of your email "Sticker API Key Request". This is important as it will help us keep track of your request.
Below are code samples in Python, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP and the command line on connecting to the API to make a search query for "ryan gosling".
# python
import urllib,json
data = json.loads(urllib.urlopen("http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=ryan+gosling&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC&limit=5").read())
print json.dumps(data, sort_keys=True, indent=4)
#javascript, jQuery
var xhr = $.get("http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=ryan+gosling&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC&limit=5");
xhr.done(function(data) { console.log("success got data", data); });
#ruby
require 'net/http'
require 'json'
url = "http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=ryan+gosling&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC&limit=5"
resp = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url))
buffer = resp.body
result = JSON.parse(buffer)
print result
// php
$url = "http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=ryan+gosling&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC&limit=5";
print_r(json_decode(file_get_contents($url)));
# curl, command line
curl "http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=ryan+gosling&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC&limit=5"
Projects that leverage the Giphy API can be submitted to Giphy labs. Learn more about Giphy labs.
