Giphy API key creation

Continuum has to use a BYOK(Bring your own key) model. Continuum is open source, and Giphy(now owned by Shutterstock) charges crazy money for apps to use their API. This is very akin to Reddit API costs, but much worse.

Instructions

1. Go here
2. Click the Create Account button

3. Click `Sign Up` and create an account if needed, otherwise `Log In`

4. Click the `Create an API Key` button

5. Click `Select API` to pick `API` instead of `SDK` 6. Click the `Next Step` button

7. Set `Your App Name` to `Continuum` 8. Set `Platform` to `Android` 9. Set the `App Description` to `Reddit Android client with Giphy support` 10. Check the box for `By checking this box, I am confirming that I have read & agree to the GIPHY API Terms` 11. Click the `Create API Key` button

You should theen see a box like this on the page with your API key.

Note

kTWpBT9Zc5iZw8lZ0dTUcTukCwVHftSK was a real API key, but has since been deleted. It won't work for you, so don't try it.
