I am creating an e-book for an assessment and I would like to have a gif in it. Is there any way I can insert an existing gif that is found on a website (e.g. giphy) into my document successfully?
Thanks in advance!

I can confirm that Pages 8.0 does support the exportation of animated .gifs to ePub documents. But…
Although once an animated GIF is dropped in Pages 8.0, and the side panel provides a Movie tab where you can set Repeat to None — once exported to ePub, the animated GIF plays continuously anyway, which in most cases, would be extremely distracting to the person reading the ePub in the Apple Books application. No controls are available to disable the animation within the ePub either.
Think I will submit a bug report to the Pages product team on this.

Just drag it into your document.
Thanks for the replies! I tried dragging gifs into my document and it did not populate anything on the page. No image or even text appeared after dragging it in.
As I confirmed, I had no issue dragging and dropping a (giphy) animated GIF onto a Pages 8.0 document. Try another GIF image.
How do I post .gifs into my ebook document using Pages?
