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

Clone the repository or download the files.
Install the required Python libraries:
```
pip install requests beautifulsoup4
```

Usage

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
```
Run the script: Execute the Python script from your terminal:
```
python giphy-downloader.py
```
Find your GIFs: The script will create a downloaded_gifs directory (if it doesn't already exist) and save all the downloaded GIFs there.
