Giphy component installed but still getting error message

[Hugo_L (Hugo Lawrence)]

I add the component to the theme. I then get the GIF option but when I try and enter it I get the following error message:

Any help appreciated

Did you add the API key in the settings of the component?

[Hugo_L (Hugo Lawrence)]

No, I don’t think so. Do I need to get the API key from Giphy?

[Moin]

You need an API key from the provider you chose in the component’s settings. So if you choose “Giphy” in the API provider setting, you need to add the API key you got from Giphy to the Giphy API key field. If you choose Tenor, you need to add the API key from Tenor to the Tenor API key field.

The topic about the component explains how to get the API keys: Discourse Gifs

If I remember correctly, you can no longer use Giphy for free.

@Falco

Discourse Gifs does not use their SDK, only their API, so it looks like that in order to use Discourse Gifs with Giphy from now on staff will need to pay $120 a year.

Thank you! All sorted.
