Usage

Simple example of making a search request against the Giphy API. Any problems when calling the client and a GiphyApiClientException will be thrown.

const string giphyApiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";

var client = new GiphyApiClient(new HttpClient());

var request = new SearchRequest(giphyApiKey) { Query = "cheeseburgers", Limit = 1 };

var response = await client.SearchAsync(request);

Console.Write(response.Gifs.First().Images.Original.Url);

To communicate with the Giphy Stickers API (for retrieving stickers and sticker packs) use the GiphyStickerApiClient class.
