# Resolve GIF URLs to proxy entries

`POST /users/@me/favorite-gifs/resolve`

Resolves a batch of GIF URLs into entries containing signed media proxy URLs, suitable for storing as URL-only favorite GIFs.

## Request body

- ResolveGifUrlsBodySchema
  - `urls` string[], required — GIF URLs to resolve into entries with proxy metadata

## Response `200`

Success

- ResolveGifUrlsResponse
  - `entries` ResolvedGifEntrySchema[], required — Resolved GIF entries with proxy metadata
    - `url` string, required — Original GIF URL
    - `proxy_url` string, required — Signed media proxy URL for the GIF
    - `width` integer, required — Width of the GIF in pixels (0 if unknown)
    - `height` integer, required — Height of the GIF in pixels (0 if unknown)
    - `media` object, required — Provider-issued format-name → media descriptor map (mirrors GifResponse.media). Empty when the URL is not recognizable as belonging to any registered GIF provider.
    - `content_type` string, required — MIME type of the primary media (top-level url). Empty string means "unknown / image/gif" — clients should treat it as image/gif for backward compat.
    - `placeholder` string, nullable — Compact thumbhash placeholder produced by the media proxy. Persisted with the favorite so the picker can show a low-res preview while the GIF loads, and a fallback if the source URL later disappears.
