Redgifs links doesn't work.

Gosh, again...

I'm pushing out a fix that will create an iframe for redgifs. The sad part is that "auto-next" doesn't work. You can either set the auto-next to a higher time duration, or just disable it and manually next.

The problem is that redgifs disabled access to their APIs. So either we need a server to circumvent the problem, or to find some other solution. I wonder why they have such nice api docs if they don't want folks to use them https://api.redgifs.com/docs/

@ubershmekel Do you know when redgifs disabled access to their APIs perchance?

seems to be wider problem at RedGIFs end. Hopefully the API starts working again too when they get everything solved.

This looks like a deliberate change on their end to block CORS requests. I doubt that it's some sort of outage. @Hrxn probably around when this issue was opened.

I saw redditpx used a proxy to fix this issue. I don't have plans on making a proxy, so the iframes will have to do for now. Closing the issue unless folks have a better idea.
