GIF To Images

Simple PHP endpoint script that gets GIF from Giphy's API and splits it's frames into seperate images. This was devised as part of a project for EMF Camp's 2018 camp badge, the TiLDA MK4.

Use

Calling this script will return JSON containing information on the original GIF and the resulting generated frames.

Example response:

{
"status":{
	"code":200,
	"description":"200 OK",
	"message":"The request is OK."
},
"searchphrase":"cat",
"files": {
	"total":112,
	"filelist":["imgs\/gif_00000.gif","imgs\/gif_00001.gif","imgs\/gif_00002.gif"],
},
"original": {
	"url":"https:\/\/media0.giphy.com\/media\/Lp5wuqMOmLUaAd0jBG\/200.gif",
	"dimensions":{
		"width":"200",
		"height":"200"
		}
	}
}

  1. Without Parameters: The script can be called without any parameters. This will default to using Random Word API and will return GIFs related to a random word.

  2. Search Parameter: The script accepts two parameters:

    • search This will return GIFs related to the search phrase.
    • format Allows setting of the format of the returned images.

Example call: giftoimages.php?search={search_phrase}&format={file_format}

To Do

  • Add parameters:
    • key - At the moment Giphy API key is hard coded into PHP.
    • type - Files are returned are as GIFs. Would be good if user could request the file format required.
  • Increase information returned in JSON:
    • status code
    • list of images
    • original GIF url
    • dimensions
    • response time
    • search phrase
    • file info
