=> paste into config.exs

iex(1)> GiphyEx.Gifs.random("cat")
%{"data" => %{"caption" => "", "fixed_height_downsampled_height" => "200",
    "fixed_height_downsampled_url" => "http://media0.giphy.com/media/CdqNOCOc8Lcw8/200_d.gif",
...
  "meta" => %{"msg" => "OK", "response_id" => "58d13342f43d8df174cf07da",
    "status" => 200}}

OK.

Elixir like methods:

  def image_url(theme) do
    %{"data" => %{"image_url" => image_url}} =
      GiphyEx.Gifs.random(theme)

      {:ok, image_url}
  end

  def generate(theme) do
    with {:ok, url} <- image_url(theme),
         {:ok, binary} <- download_image(url) do
      {:ok, binary}
    end
  end

$ MIX_ENV=test mix test

when testing, all gif API performed. to avoid this, use different modules during test => fakes.
