Giphy

Post by KyleMassacre »

Hello everyone,
I got real bored and decided to create something new. This is to use the Giphy API inside the ingame messages. What it does is uses the random search portion of the API where you type in a search string and it will grab one image from their database and display it. Here are some screen shots of it in action:

Send Message View

Message View (with a smaller image)

Message View (with a larger image)

I dont have much to say about it really but I will be releasing it soon. One catch though is that you need to keep the powered by image that gets displayed with the image.

I would like to add though is that we use this integration with slack and sometimes the outputs are not so desireable. I'm not sure how the upload process works with giphy but some of the search terms do suck and you get an image that has nothing to do with what you requested. I did add something to stop you from trying to query a giphy image when it can't find an image that meets your search term. So if you do use this, it's not my fault if the image you get is a giphy fail
