## [Stickers](https://developers.giphy.com/docs/#giphy-sticker-api)
[Animated stickers](https://giphy.com/stickers) are gifs with transparent backgrounds. All giphy-api functions
support stickers **except id**, which is not a supported Giphy sticker endpoint.
In order to use the sticker API instead of the gif API, simply pass the ```api```
property to a giphy-api function.
```javascript
// Sticker search using callback
giphy.search({
api: 'stickers',
q: 'funny'
}, function (err, res) {
});
// Sticker search using promise
giphy.search({
api: 'stickers',
q: 'funny'
}).then(res) {
});
```
