gifs.com Golang Package

Golang is awesome, and so are gifs. Using gifs.com API you can create gifs from many many different sources. Gifs.com API is already easy, but this simplifies it even more. You'll be able to create basic gifs, and more complex functionality based on your application.

✅ Create gifs via URL (youtube, vimeo, remote mp4, etc)

✅ Upload mp4/image & Download gif

✅ Bulk Upload

✅ Trim gif (start/end in seconds)

Gifs.com allows you to send any instagram, twitter, facebook, vine, .gif, .mp4, .webm, giphy, imgur, gfycat, or streamable links. 👍

Install

go get -u github.com/hunterlong/gifs

import "github.com/hunterlong/gifs"

Simple Usage

Be 😎 and use API keys for added features and limits. gifs.com Authentication API does not require keys.

gifs.Authentication = "gifs00YOURkey2929"

Let's make a gif from a YouTube video.

input := &gifs.New{
  Source: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDmQ0byhus4",
}

response := input.Create()

fmt.Println("Gifs.com Gif URL: ",response.Files.Gif)

Advanced Usage

You can add all the gifs.com attributes and even tag the gif with a user. You can trim your gif by inserting start and end in seconds. There's even a 'safe' option.

input := &gifs.New{
  Source: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDmQ0byhus4",
  Title: "Cute Kitten Drinking From Sink",
  Tags: []string{"cute","kitten","drinking"},
  Attribution: &Attribution{
    Site: "twitter",
    User: "stronghold2d",
  },
  Trim: &Trim{
    Start: 10,
    End:   20,
  },
  Safe: true,
}

response, err := input.Create()
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

fmt.Println("Gif URL: ", response.Files.Gif)
fmt.Println("Jpg URL: ", response.Files.Jpg)
fmt.Println("Mp4 URL: ", response.Files.Mp4)
fmt.Println("Page URL: ", response.Page)
fmt.Println("oEmbed URL: ", response.Oembed)
fmt.Println("Embed URL: ", response.Embed)

Saving gif

You've seen the responses from gifs.com API, but now I'd like to download the gif and save it locally.

file := &gifs.New{
    Source: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6wrI6DEZFk",
}

response, _ := file.Create()

gifFile := response.SaveGif()

fmt.Println("Saved gif: ", gifFile)

Upload MP4

Oh whaaat. I have a mp4 file named 'video.mp4' in my current directory and I'd love to have it as a gif.

input := &gifs.New{
    File:  "video.mp4",
    Title: "Nice Video Title",
    Tags:  []string{"gifs", "are", "awesome"},
}

response, err := input.Upload()
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

fmt.Println("Gif URL: ", response.Files.Gif)

Bulk Upload

Now I've got the hang of it, I don't need to go one-by-one. Include an array of New files, and Upload! The response will give you an array for each uploaded file.

// work in progress!
files := []gifs.New{
    {
        File:  "video1.mp4",
        Title: "New Video",
    },
    {
        File:  "video2.mp4",
        Title: "New Video 2",
    },
    {
        File:  "video3.mp4",
        Title: "New Video 3",
    },
}

bulk := gifs.Bulk{
    New: files,
}

response, err := bulk.Upload()
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

for k, v := range response {
    fmt.Println("File #", k, " Uploaded. File Gif: ", v.Files.Gif)
}

fmt.Println("Uploaded", len(response), "Files")
