Giphy Core SDK for Android

The Giphy Core SDK is a wrapper around Giphy API.

Giphy is the best way to search, share, and discover GIFs on the Internet. Similar to the way other search engines work, the majority of our content comes from indexing based on the best and most popular GIFs and search terms across the web. We organize all those GIFs so you can find the good content easier and share it out through your social channels. We also feature some of our favorite GIF artists and work with brands to create and promote their original GIF content.

Add the local module as a dependency in your build.gradle file:

compile project(':giphy-android-sdk-core')

Initialize Giphy SDK

GPHApi client = new GPHApiClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

Search Endpoint

Search all Giphy GIFs for a word or phrase. Punctuation will be stripped and ignored.

/// Gif Search
client.search("cats", MediaType.gif, null, null, null, null, new CompletionHandler<ListMediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(ListMediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                for (Media gif : result.getData()) {
                    Log.v("giphy", gif.getId());
                }
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

/// Sticker Search
client.search("cats", MediaType.sticker, null, null, null, null, new CompletionHandler<ListMediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(ListMediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                for (Media gif : result.getData()) {
                    Log.v("giphy", gif.getId());
                }
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

Trending Endpoint

Fetch GIFs currently trending online. Hand curated by the Giphy editorial team. The data returned mirrors the GIFs showcased on the Giphy homepage.

/// Trending Gifs
client.trending(MediaType.gif, null, null, null, new CompletionHandler<ListMediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(ListMediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                for (Media gif : result.getData()) {
                    Log.v("giphy", gif.getId());
                }
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

/// Trending Stickers
client.trending(MediaType.sticker, null, null, null, new CompletionHandler<ListMediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(ListMediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                for (Media gif : result.getData()) {
                    Log.v("giphy", gif.getId());
                }
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

Translate Endpoint

The translate API draws on search, but uses the Giphy "special sauce" to handle translating from one vocabulary to another. In this case, words and phrases to GIFs. Example implementations of translate can be found in the Giphy Slack, Hipchat, Wire, or Dasher integrations. Use a plus or url encode for phrases.

/// Translate to a Gif
client.translate("hungry", MediaType.gif, null, null, new CompletionHandler<MediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(MediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                Log.v("giphy", result.getData().getId());
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

/// Translate to a Sticker
client.translate("hungry", MediaType.sticker, null, null, new CompletionHandler<MediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(MediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                Log.v("giphy", result.getData().getId());
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

Random Endpoint

Returns a random GIF, limited by tag. Excluding the tag parameter will return a random GIF from the Giphy catalog.

/// Random Gif
client.random("cats dogs", MediaType.gif, null, new CompletionHandler<MediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(MediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                Log.v("giphy", result.getData().getId());
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

/// Random Sticker
client.random("cats dogs", MediaType.sticker, null, new CompletionHandler<MediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(MediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                Log.v("giphy", result.getData().getId());
            } else {
                Log.e("giphy error", "No results found");
            }
        }
    }
});

        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {

imp.gifsByIds(gifIds, new CompletionHandler<ListMediaResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(ListMediaResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {
                for (Media gif : result.getData()) {
                    Log.v("giphy", gif.getId());
                }
            } else {

    @Override
    public void onComplete(ListCategoryResponse result, Throwable e) {
        if (result == null) {
            // Do what you want to do with the error
        } else {
            if (result.getData() != null) {

CONTRIBUTING

Managing git repositories can be hard, so we've laid out a few simple guidelines to help keep things organized.

Guidelines

1. Create a Pull Request; instead of pushing directly to master.

2. Give your branch a descriptive name like dh-network-fix instead of something ambiguous like my-branch.

3. Write a descriptive summary in the comment section on Github.

4. Don't merge your own Pull Request; send it to your teammate for review.

5. If you think something could be improved: write a comment on the Pull Request and send it to the author.

6. Make sure your branch is based off master, and not some other outdated branch.

7. Don't reuse branches. Once they're merged to master you should consider deleting them.

8. Prefer squash when doing a Pull Request, as it simplifies the commit history.
