Production API Key #25

Closed antoinejaussoin closed 4 years ago

antoinejaussoin commented 4 years ago

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this library, I'm using it on my retrospective tool (https://github.com/antoinejaussoin/retro-board/tree/v3) and it works like a charm.

I have a question though: how do you get a production API key? Following Giphy's doc, you need to get some giphyRandomId variable that should be set to the window object, which is not the case when using your component. How did you manage to solve this issue?

Many thanks!

Hi @antoinejaussoin, I'm glad to head my simple library has helped you.

Concerning your issue, I have to admit I've never heard about this giphyRandomId. I quickly checked out my Giphy's dev account and I discovered that now you can create a new App using Giphy's API and the new Giphy's SDK. The SDK adds the production request process you are talking about.

If you use this library, which is based on the Giphy's API, you need to create a proper App, choosing the one on the right (see following image).

You'll find that the production request process is more simple and totally manual. It's basically a form where they ask you to provide some info on your application is using their API.

I known... sooner or later I'll have to move this library to Giphy's SDK, but it's not currently on my priority list. 😉

Let me know if this solves your issue.

I can't believe I've been that stupid :) I created an SDK app weeks ago, and was trying to activate that, without realising that API app were different.

Thanks so much!
