9,665 PointsFix for outdated Trending GIFs Endpoint. Hope this helps people!!
Noticed the endpoint used in this video was no longer working and wouldn't return an array of gifs in JSON. Here was my Fix:
To get a working endpoint we need an api key. To do this go onto giphy's developer website https://developers.giphy.com/docs/sdk and make a free account.
After you've made an account hit the create an app button on their website, tell them a little about your project and you will be given an API Key. (Its very quick don't worry)
Now put that API key into your fetch command and you should be good!
E.X. of my code without my API Key for obvious reasons
componentDidMount() { fetch('https://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/trending?api_key=enter your api key here &limit=25&rating=G')
Also you can use https://developers.giphy.com/explorer/ to help you get the correct format for more requests
