Fetch GIF Details
Explore how to fetch detailed data for individual or multiple GIFs by their IDs using the GIPHY API. Understand the required request parameters, response structures, and how to render GIFs in your application using JavaScript.
In this lesson, we'll focus on two endpoints for GIFs that don’t apply to stickers: GIF by ID and GIFs by ID.
The get GIF by ID endpoint
The get GIF by ID endpoint fetches the details of a GIF that we provide an ID for. This endpoint takes the required input request parameter gif_id along with the GIPHY API key. It returns the details of the specified GIF in a single JSON response.
The base URL for the get GIF by ID endpoint is as follows:
https://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/{gif_id}?api_key={ourGIPHYapikey}
Request parameters
The input request parameters supported by this endpoint are as follows:
Name | Type | Category | Description |
| string | required | This is the ID of the GIF we want the details of. |
