Search Animated Gifs Workflow

[zholmquist]

Giphy ( http://giphy.com ) is a great way to find animated gifs, Alfred is a great way to quickly do something.

I need a quick to find animated gifs, and so a Giphy Workflow was born:

NOTE: For some reason it tacks on a space at the end, if anyone knows how to get rid of that it'd be appreciated knowledge.

It’s not a space, it’s a newline. You’re outputting it when you use python’s print, and it’s then being read by the bash command.

 

You can pretty much replace the python and bash modules with a single bash module containing

search=$(echo "{query}" | sed 's/ /-/g')
open "http://giphy.com/tags/${search}"

That’ll do the same thing (without the extra stuff at the end of the url), with less code. Edited May 31, 2013 by Vítor
