An easy Swift library for accessing and using GIFs from the web and the user's library

To access the Giphy API, you'll need to get a key from Giphy

Once you've gotten your key:

GifManager.shared.APIKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"

To get Trending Giphy GIFS:

GifManager.shared.fetchTrendingGifs { (gifs) in
        //Returns trending Gifs
        //Can also be accessed via GifManager.shared.trendingGifs
}

To perform a search for GIFS:

GifManager.shared.searchGifs(search: "yourSearchHere") { (gifs) in
        //Returns GIFs that match the search query from Giphy
        //Results also be accessed via GifManager.shared.searchGifs
}

Each search is limited to 50 results.

To get the next page of search results:

GifManager.shared.searchNextPage { (gifs, exhuasted) in
    //gifs = the next 50 gifs, appended to GifManager.shared.searchGifs            
    //exhausted is a Bool that returns true if there's no more GIFs to fetch for the searchQuery
}

A individual Gif is returned as a GifAsset which returns a URL for the original GIF using URL, and one to display as a thumbnail under thumbURL. Download the contents into a Data object then display them in a UIImage.

• More flexibility in editing Search options
• A better way to download the actual GIFs from GifAssets
• Easy access to GIFs in the Users Camera Roll
• A GifPickerViewController that quickly and simply interfaces the entire model
