Empty response from Giphy search API when using Postman despite valid API key

I’m having trouble with the Giphy API search endpoint. When I send a GET request through Postman, I get back an empty data array even though my API key works fine with other endpoints like trending and random.

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

  • Making a GET request to the search endpoint
  • Using the same API key that works for other Giphy endpoints
  • Getting a response but the data array is completely empty

I’ve double checked my API key and it’s definitely correct since other endpoints return data properly. Has anyone run into this issue before? What could be causing the search results to come back empty when the API key is valid?

for sure! don’t forget the ‘q’ param in your search, even just ‘dog’ or something should work. if that’s missing, you’ll get nothing back. gl!
