Fetch GIF Details
Learn how to fetch a GIF using its GIPHY ID.
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. |
