devzat-gif

A Devzat plugin (Go) that posts GIFs with a gif command. Uses Giphy by default, or Tenor; or paste an image URL directly.

gif <search terms>          Post a random matching GIF
gif <https://image-url>     Post an image URL directly (no API key needed)

Because Devzat renders images (it decodes the first frame only — GIFs show as a still), the message includes the animated original's page URL too.

Build

go build -o devzat-gif .

Configure

Env	Default	Purpose
DEVZAT_ADDRESS	—	Plugin-API address, e.g. localhost:5556 (arg overrides)
DEVZAT_TOKEN	—	Plugin API token (required)
GIF_PROVIDER	giphy	giphy or tenor
GIF_API_KEY	Giphy beta key	Provider API key; set your own for reliability
GIF_RATING	pg-13	Giphy content rating: g, pg, pg-13, r

The Giphy default uses Giphy's long-standing public beta key, so it works out of the box for a small private server. For anything serious, grab a free key at https://developers.giphy.com/dashboard/ (or a Tenor key from Google) and set GIF_API_KEY.

Run

DEVZAT_TOKEN=... ./devzat-gif localhost:5556

Dry run (no server):

./devzat-gif --print cat vibing

Install (systemd)

sudo DEVZAT_TOKEN=dvz@... ./install.sh

Uses its own plugin-API token (mint one per plugin with grant in chat — see devzat-deploy's README for enabling the RPC integration and rpc.port: 5556).

Attribution

Search results are served by Giphy or Tenor, and the bot labels each post with Powered by GIPHY / Powered by Tenor accordingly.

Operate

systemctl status devzat-gif
journalctl -u devzat-gif -f
