About Giphy

GIPHY provides an API and SDK for integrating GIFs, Stickers, Clips, and other animated content into applications. The API offers endpoints for fetching, searching, and displaying content, including trending, search, translate, random, and upload endpoints, along with schema definitions for GIFs, images, and related objects. The SDK builds on the API with platform-specific wrappers, customizable UI templates, and helper methods for asset fetching, caching, and display, including a React Native SDK.

Content types include GIFs, Stickers (GIFs with transparent backgrounds), Clips (GIFs with sound sourced from entertainment, sports, news, and pop culture partners), Emoji (animated emoji stickers), and Text (animated text-based stickers). Alt text support is available for the most popular content based on top search terms, accessible to integration partners through the API. Clips, Emoji, Text, and GIPHY Text content types are only available through the SDK, not the API.

The product is aimed at developers and product designers building messaging apps, social media features, games, or other applications that incorporate animated GIF content, comparable to integrations used by Facebook, Slack, and Instagram. API keys start at a beta tier limited to 100 searches or API calls per hour; higher-volume usage requires applying for a production key through the developer dashboard, with pricing discussed upon qualification. Additional resources include a Sketch UI Kit for design, brand guidelines, an API Explorer, and a migration guide for projects moving from Tenor.
