Code Along: Giphy API with Async / Await

Code Along: Giphy Search API with Async / Await

We’re going to modify our Giphy’s API application and use async / await to make our API request

Sign up for a Giphy API Key here: https://developers.giphy.com/ (only for those students who don’t already have one)

2. Get the starter code

The starter code for this code along is hosted on Github, see the url below:

- Use the Assignment Submission Git Workflow (detailed here) to access and submit the assignment

3. Include Axios in your project via CDN

We’ll be using axios to make our API request. Add the following script tag right before your closing <body> tag but before the script tag targeting your app.js file

  <script
      src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js"
      integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo="
      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script> <!-- Add the axios script tag here -->
  <script src="js/app.js"></script>
