High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Send a GET request to https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search with parameters q (query), limit, and key. Pipe the JSON response through jq to extract GIF URLs from the results array under media_formats.
First query the Tenor search endpoint and extract the gif URL with jq, then run curl -sL on that URL with -o to save the file locally. URL-encode spaces in the query as plus signs.
You need a TENOR_API_KEY environment variable set to a Google Cloud Console Tenor API key. The key is free with generous rate limits and can be obtained from the Google Tenor quickstart guide.
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 downloads.
Common causes are a missing or invalid TENOR_API_KEY, unencoded special characters in the query, or a restrictive contentfilter setting. Verify the key is exported and URL-encode the query string.
