FAQ

Questions about Get Random Giphy GIF.

Does Get Random Giphy GIF support batch operations?

Run Get Random Giphy GIF inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Giphy's rate limits.
