KLIPY is a media API that lets your Lovable app search and embed GIFs, stickers, and short clips, and generate AI emojis on demand. It’s a drop-in media layer for chat, social, and commenting features. KLIPY is available as an app + chat connector: one shared connection that works in the project chat while you build and in your published apps. With KLIPY, your app can:
  • Search and embed GIFs, stickers, and short clips
  • Generate AI emojis on demand
  • Add a trending media picker to chat and social features
Reach for the KLIPY connector when your app needs a media picker, reaction stickers, or generated emojis. For a handful of static images you ship yourself, keep them in your app’s assets instead.

How to connect KLIPY

Who can create KLIPY connections depends on your plan and workspace settings. See Who can create connections and clients. When adding a connection, you can choose between:
  • Managed by Lovable (no KLIPY account or API key required)
  • Use your own credentials (connect with your own KLIPY API key)
When the connection is created, you can link it to the projects where you want to use it. Anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in the project chat to link their project to it. Follow the setup steps below based on how you want to connect KLIPY.
Choose this option if you want the fastest setup. You don’t need to create a KLIPY account or API key. Lovable provides and manages the credentials for you.
You can create only one managed KLIPY connection per workspace.
1

Open KLIPY in Connectors

Go to Connectors and select KLIPY.
2

Add a connection

Click Connect on the connector page.
3

Name the connection

In Display name, name the connection (for example, KLIPY Prod).
4

Choose Managed by Lovable

Under Authentication, select Managed by Lovable.
5

Choose who can use this connection

Managed connections are shared with the entire workspace by default. To limit who can use the connection, click Restrict to specific people under Sharing.See Who can use connections and clients for more information.
6

Connect

Click Connect at the bottom of the form.
When connected, anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in the project chat to link their project to KLIPY (based on configured connection-level access). Your Lovable apps can then search and embed media and generate AI emojis through the connector.

​
Limitations

The KLIPY connector cannot:
  • Refresh or rotate API keys automatically. For connections that use your own credentials, generate a new key in the KLIPY partner dashboard and update the Lovable connection to rotate
  • Support per-end-user KLIPY login. Each connection represents a single KLIPY key shared across all projects linked to it
  • Manage your KLIPY account, content settings, or usage limits for connections that use your own credentials. Configure those in the KLIPY partner dashboard

​
Manage your KLIPY connection

Connections are managed from Connectors: select KLIPY, then open the connection.
  • Unlink projects to remove KLIPY access from specific projects while keeping the connection available for others. See Unlink projects from a connection for the steps.
  • Delete the connection to remove it from the workspace entirely. Deleting is permanent. It removes the credentials from all linked projects, and app features that use KLIPY stop working until a new connection is added. See Delete a connection for the steps and who can delete.
