Custom Actions - Connect GIPHY to do GIF search

Get Help External Collections, Custom Actions & Collections

Hello,

This is my first time using Adalo custom actions and APIs on this platform. I’m having trouble connecting to GIPHY in order to allow users to search for a GIF and post it as a comment or post. I’ve followed the instructions to the best of my ability but keep getting this error.

Any thoughts?? If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi @Reachrch,

I have covered this here! :muscle: You need a External Collection instead of a Custom Action. ( Custom action only returns one record and it’s the first one of he JSON. )

( Tip No 4 )

And your Base URL should be https://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search and you don’t need Authorization and Content-Type headers.

Thank you
