Giphy Plugin - How can I get more than 50 gifs loaded?

Hi all. I will be infinitely grateful if someone can help… Using the plugin my users are currently able to search up gif stickers via keywords but it only returns about 50 gifs, not sure if it’s standard. How do I get unlimited gifs loaded, or at least a larger amount so they can keep scrolling through? Or any ideas for a work-around? Giphy has such a large collection of gifs that loading only 50 is kind of limiting and a bummer for my users who are limited to using only those first 50 that load. Anyone who can help, we will be infinitely thankful to you. Thanks!

Hi @user10, thanks for your message.
Sorry for the late reply due to the weekend. :pray:

I’ve carefully investigated your request and tried to reproduce it on my side. Unfortunately, no luck so far.
It looks like you cannot retrieve more than 50 Gifs.
I’ve passed your request to the developer team for investigation. Once any news will become available, I will let you know.

Thank you for understanding :pray:
Regards,

No problem. I see, I will see what I can do then. I will stay updated, thank you for your time!

Hi @user10, thanks for your reply.
Thank you for your patience. :pray:

According to the Giphy API guide documentation, when using a beta key, the max limit of displayed gifs is 50.
If you will go to your Giphy dashboard and upgrade your app to production, this limitation shouldn’t be anymore.

I hope the above is useful to you.
If you require any further information, let me know.
Best regards,
