Giffer is an automatic gif download bot and is highly customizable. It's core functionality only consists of being able to start different adapters and downloading gifs that were found by these adapters. It also saves some meta information and makes sure that the same gifs are not downloaded multiple times.

Giffer emits only one event:
When a gif was downloaded. As a parameter you get the filename.
Writing plugins is pretty straight forward. It offers hooks on some methods and
your plugin can register on either pre
or post
events on these methods.
These are methods that can be hooked into:
This is the first method that is being called when an adapter emits a new gif
event. Checks if the gif was already downloaded and - if not - saves the data
into the database.
Does what it says. Actually downloads the gif into the predefined folder.
This is the method that emits the gif
event after everything has been done
properly.
