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 [email protected]. 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 public Giphy API provides the following JSON read and write endpoint(s):
######READ ENDPOINTS
######WRITE ENDPOINT
The Giphy API implements a REST-like interface. Connections can be made with any HTTP or HTTPS enabled programming language. The Giphy API also implements CORS, allowing you to connect to Giphy from JavaScript / Web browsers on your own domain. The Giphy API provides multiple file sizes, dimensions, and formats of every GIF to meet every clients potential needs. You can view a guide to the rendition offering here.
Search replicates the search found on Giphy. Translate converts words and phrases to GIFs and is designed to be used in messaging apps, e.g. the Giphy Slack integration. Trending pulls in the best GIFs from around the internet, hand curated by the Giphy editorial team. Random returns a single random GIF, optionally limited to a specified tag. Stickers are a separate library of animated, transparent GIFs (great for creation apps!). The Upload endpoint allows you to upload your content to Giphy.
Giphy Labs is a great place to see various implementations of the Giphy API. Learn more about the rest in the documentation below.

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.
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)

- q - search query term or phrase
- limit - (optional) number of results to return, maximum 100. Default 25
- offset - (optional) results offset, defaults to 0

- fmt - (optional) return results in html or json format (useful for viewing responses as GIFs to debug/test)

Example translate query.
/v1/stickers/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 visit api.giphy.com/submit to request a unique API key. 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.
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)
puts 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"

The Giphy Upload API is open to the public. The same public beta key can be used to test out the endpoint.
- The public beta key is "dc6zaTOxFJmzC”
Please note that the beta key will only allow you to upload content and retrieve the hosted Giphy GIF ID in the response. If you wish to upload directly to your existing or new Giphy Channel (example: giphy.com/channel/test), please see details below in Request an Upload Production Key. Please use this beta key while you develop your application and experiment with your integrations. The public key is subject to rate limit constraints and we do not encourage live production deployments to use the public key.
Production Upload keys require a Giphy Channel Username to upload, host, and post content to. You can create a Giphy Channel by visiting Giphy.com/join. If you already have an existing Channel, you can use the same one if you desire.
Once your Channel is created, please include the Channel username (example: For giphy.com/community/test, your username is test) in your submission using the same Giphy API submission form. You will be prompted to submit your Giphy Channel username once you select "Upload" as your type of application. Please be prepared to provide all the following information detailed in the submission form.
Please note that production keys are currently limited to 1000 uploads per day. If you need to extend that, please send us a note in the submission form.
The Giphy Upload API allows you to upload and host your content programmatically to Giphy.com. We accept animated gifs or video files up to 100MB. Hosted Giphy URLs are supported and play on every major social network.
The following documentation describes how to upload animated GIFs or videos to Giphy.com using the API. If you're using the beta key, you will not need to include a Giphy channel username to your request. Only approved apps will need to include a Giphy channel username. You can use the endpoint to upload your content, attach tags and other meta tag in a single HTTP or HTTPS POST request.
######path Host: upload.giphy.com URI: /v1/gifs Type: POST
######parameters
- api_key : your private API key (string, required)
- username : your assigned username (string, required for approved apps only)
- file : the animated GIF or video file (local file resource, required if no source_image_url supplied)
- source_image_url : the URL for the image or video you wish to upload (string, required if no file parameter specified)
- tags : comma delimited list of tags (string, optional)
- source_post_url : the source of the asset (string, optional)
- is_hidden : true (boolean, optional)
The only three fields that are required are api_key, username and the file OR source_image_url. If both file & source_image_url form fields are supplied in the request, the file parameter will be used over the source_image_url. The is_hidden parameter allows you to mark your uploaded content as private (only visible on giphy.com if logged in as the associated user)

file: YOUR_FILE,
source_image_url: YOUR_SOURCE_URL,
tags: YOUR_TAGS
},
success: YOUR_SUCCESS_HANDLER,
error: YOUR_ERROR_HANDLER
});
Successful upload requests will result in a JSON response with a 200 status code:
{"meta":{"gif_id":"your_new_gif_id","status":200,"msg":"OK"}}
Failed responses return a JSON response with a 400 error code):
{"meta":{"status":400,"msg":"Forbidden"}} // bad API KEY
{"meta":{"status":400,"msg":"Bad Request - Error creating GIF"}} // attempting to upload a file that's not a valid animated GIF
Projects that leverage the Giphy API can be submitted to Giphy labs. Learn more about Giphy labs.
