Overview of Giphy#

The Giphy API provides programmatic access to Giphy's vast library of animated GIFs, allowing you to search, share, and explore this rich visual content. Leveraging Pipedream, you can harness the power of Giphy to add engaging visuals to your applications, automate the delivery of GIFs in response to events, or enrich your social media interactions with dynamic imagery. It opens up fun and expressive ways to inject personality into chatbots, forums, or any platform that could use a splash of animated flair.

Connect Giphy#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    giphy: {
      type: "app",
      app: "giphy",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/random`,
      params: {
        api_key: `${this.giphy.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
