giphy-api | JavaScript Client for the Giphy.com API | REST library

I am using giphy-api module from nodejs and I want to pass this data to react.

I have two components:

Api.js is the one that successfully connects with node.js and returns a callback with all the API data. App.js is the main component. I import Api.js and when I console.log this callback message it works. I tried props and states but because the Api.js returns a Callback I don't know how to consume it.

Api.js

I am trying to make this simple api with the help of this article .The primary purpose of reading this article is to learn react native but it starts with a server in nodejs .I couldn't get it running correctly . Here is the link to article link

Here is the code for server.js file

To provide context, here's the problem I'm attempting to solve:

I've made a giphy bot for a casual groupchat with friends of mine. By typing /giphy [terms] in a message, it will automatically post the top result for [terms]. My friends, being the rambunctious assholes that they are, quickly started abusing it to spam the groupchat. What I would like to do to prevent this is only allow my postMessage function to be called once per minute.

What I've tried:

• Using setTimeout(), which doesn't do exactly what I'd like, since it will only call the function after the amount of time specified in the argument has passed. As far as I can tell, this will cause a delay in messages from the time the bot is called, but it won't actually prevent the bot from accepting new postMessage() calls in that time.
• Using setInterval(), which just causes the function to be called forever at a certain interval.

What I think might work:

Right now, I'm working with two .js files.

Index.js

It was working, randomly stopped working. react-tether is installed under node_modules.
