support stickers except id, which is not a supported Giphy sticker endpoint.
In order to use the sticker API instead of the gif API, simply pass the api
property to a giphy-api function.
// Sticker search using callback
giphy.search({
api: 'stickers',
q: 'funny'
}, function (err, res) {
});
// Sticker search using promise
giphy.search({
api: 'stickers',
q: 'funny'
}).then(res) {
});
