Giffer

This is a proof of concept for an API for adding text to gif images. Think of it as a mix between giphy and meme generator.

Technology stack

• Python 3
• FastAPI
• moviepy

Dependencies

• Docker
• A Giphy API key: https://developers.giphy.com/

Installation

git clone https://github.com/m3brown/giffer
cd giffer
echo "GIPHY_API_KEY=$yourkey" > .env
docker-compose build
docker-compose up

Using the app

• After launching the app, you can visit the interactive docs at localhost:8000/docs
• Create a gif by submitting a POST with JSON data.
  • At the least, you'll need text along with one of gif or search
    • text: the text to put on the gif
    • gif: URL of the gif image to use
    • search: the search phrase to query from giphy

For example:

{"text": "time for work", "gif": "http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m810e8Cbd41ql4mgjo1_500.gif"}

{"text": "hey guys", "search": "elf wave"}
