High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Send a GET request to https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search with your query, limit, and API key, then parse the JSON with jq to extract .results[].media_formats.gif.url. URL-encode spaces in the query as plus signs.
First query the search endpoint and extract the top result's gif URL with jq, then pass that URL to curl -sL with an output filename. The Skill shows a two-command pipeline that saves the file locally.
You need a free Tenor API key from the Google Cloud Console, set as the TENOR_API_KEY environment variable. The key has generous rate limits and is passed as the key parameter in each request.
Each result includes gif, tinygif, mp4, tinymp4, webm, and nanogif formats under .media_formats. Use tinygif for lightweight chat previews and gif for full quality.
Common causes are a missing or invalid TENOR_API_KEY, unencoded special characters in the query, or an overly restrictive contentfilter setting. Verify the key is exported and URL-encode spaces as plus signs.
