Giphy is coming!

Guys, we have giphy soon! I have to wait for my friend to create the account (nothing is ever on my name, as you know, not even devplace.net) and then we have API key and giphy!

Ok, my friend said it is quite commercial and we have just 100 per hour. Well, that's enough.

@Lensflare here, everything a high educated intelligent person could want. Giphy!!

In that config snippet, the highest content rating is set to r.

What that means

The β€œContent rating” field is the maximum rating the Giphy search and trending endpoints will return. With it set to pg, you get GIFs/stickers rated PG and below (typically Y / G / PG). Anything higher (PG-13 or R) is filtered out.

Giphy’s rating levels (from lowest to highest)

Giphy uses an MPAA-style system. The accepted values for the rating parameter are normally:

Rating Level Rough meaning
g 1 Safest - no profanity, no sexual content, no real violence, no drugs/weapons (except toy-style guns).
pg 2 Mild profanity, mild bathroom humor, kissing / fully-clothed provocative movement, mild slapstick, tobacco/alcohol in mild use.
pg-13 3 Moderate swearing, middle finger, stronger innuendo, realistic guns, heavier alcohol, drug references, more intense violence.
r 4 Highest - severe profanity, strong sexual themes / partial nudity, crude genitalia cartoons, gore, very dark content.

(Older docs also mention a Y rating for strictly illustrated/cartoon content; modern API docs mostly list g, pg, pg-13, r.)

Practical notes

  • Specifying a rating returns that level and everything milder.
    Example: rating=pg β†’ Y + G + PG.
    rating=r β†’ everything.
  • If you omit the parameter entirely, the API returns all ratings (including R).
  • In the UI text you pasted, β€œHighest content rating returned by search and trending” is exactly this max-filter setting. The current value is therefore pg.

If you want more mature GIFs, raise it to pg-13 or r. If you want it stricter, drop it to g.

I did set it to r now since we are all adults.
