Because GIFs make life fun! Use Giphy API from your Ruby programs and command line. Check out Giphy Labs for inspiration.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:

Usage

Set the API version and api_key:

  config.version = THE_API_VERSION
  config.api_key = YOUR_API_KEY
