Data Model

  • Autocomplete Tags — suggested search terms as user types.
  • Categories — browse categories (e.g. reactions, trending).
  • Channel Search — search within a specific channel or brand.
  • Emoji — emoji-to-GIF mappings.
  • GIFs Search — search results for animated GIFs.
  • Stickers Search — search results for stickers (transparent background).

Gotchas

  • Rate limits: vendor enforces strict caps; production traffic requires configured credentials.
  • Rating filter: Use g or pg rating for safe content in user-facing apps.
  • Stickers vs GIFs: Stickers have transparent backgrounds; use for overlays. GIFs have opaque backgrounds.
