How to make an api call using jQuery & ajax based on user input (pt. 1)

This is Part 1
In this video, I walk you through how to build your own search engine to interact with the Giphy API. I walk you through how to dynamically query the api based off of the user input in the search field - using jQuery's .val() and .ajax() methods.

I then show you how to view the response data, parse it and display images on the screen based off of the returned JSON.
