FAQPage Schema

How do I search Tenor for reaction GIFs and retrieve direct media links?▼

To search Tenor for reaction GIFs, you query the Tenor v2 search endpoint by keyword using curl and parse the returned media links with jq. This retrieves usable gif, tinygif, mp4, or webm URLs for messaging and content workflows.

What formats can I download using Tenor API search results?▼

Tenor API search results return multiple media formats including gif, tinygif, mp4, tinymp4, webm, and nanogif URLs. You can parse these format options with jq to select the best quality or size for your embedding needs.

Do I need an API key to use the Tenor v2 search endpoint for GIF retrieval?▼

Yes, you need a Tenor API key stored in the TENOR_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate requests to the Tenor v2 search endpoint. This key is required to authorize curl queries and retrieve GIF or video links.

Can I retrieve preview URLs and metadata dimensions alongside Tenor GIF links?▼

Yes, Tenor API search returns title metadata, preview URLs, and media dimensions alongside the direct GIF links. You can extract these metadata fields using jq to preview and evaluate reaction GIFs before downloading full quality files.

What is the best way to automate retrieving reaction GIFs at scale for chat workflows?▼

The best way to automate reaction GIF retrieval at scale is to script curl calls to the Tenor v2 search endpoint and parse the JSON output with jq. This extracts multiple gif, tinygif, or mp4 URLs efficiently for automated messaging responses.
