	g, err := gifs.New()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("failed to initialize a new GIFS client, err=%v\n", err)
		return
	}
	param := &gifs.Request{

			End:   20.5,
		},
		Title: "Migos Dab",
		Tags:  []string{"migos", "dab", "example test"},
	}

	res, err := g.Import(param)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("failed to import your media, err=%v\n", err)
		return
	}

	if res.Page != "" {
		fmt.Printf("We've got a page alright\n")
	}
	if res.Embed != "" {
		fmt.Printf("We've got an embed page alright\n")
	}
	if res.HasFiles() {
		fmt.Printf("We've got files\n")
	}
	if res.File(gifs.MP4) != "" {
		fmt.Printf("We've got an MP4 file at the bare minimum\n")
	}

	// We've got a page alright
	// We've got an embed page alright
	// We've got files
	// We've got an MP4 file at the bare minimum
}

ImportBulk Example

func ExampleImportBulk() {
	g, err := gifs.New()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("failed to initialize a new GIFS client, err=%v\n", err)
		return
	}

	bulkRequest := &gifs.BulkImportRequest{
		ConcurrentImports: 3,
		Requests: []*gifs.Request{
			{
				Trim: &gifs.Trim{
