# Giphy GIF Downloader

This script downloads GIFs from Giphy pages. You provide a list of Giphy URLs, and the script will scrape the page to find the direct GIF link and download it.

## How It Works

The script reads a list of Giphy page URLs from `links.txt`, then visits each page to find the direct `.gif` image URL. It then downloads the GIF and saves it into the `downloaded_gifs` directory, using the GIF's unique ID as the filename.

## Requirements

- Python 3
- `requests` library
- `beautifulsoup4` library

## Installation

1.  **Clone the repository or download the files.**

2.  **Install the required Python libraries:**
    ```bash
    pip install requests beautifulsoup4
    ```

## Usage

1.  **Add Giphy URLs to `links.txt`**:
    Open the `links.txt` file and add the Giphy page URLs you want to download. Each URL should be on a new line.

    Example `links.txt`:
    ```
    https://giphy.com/gifs/hello-hi-hey-l41lZxzroU33typuU
    https://giphy.com/gifs/cat-computer-hacker-J1G7rIvoyz4cwaqXWo
    ```

2.  **Run the script**:
    Execute the Python script from your terminal:
    ```bash
    python giphy-downloader.py
    ```

3.  **Find your GIFs**:
    The script will create a `downloaded_gifs` directory (if it doesn't already exist) and save all the downloaded GIFs there.
