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 response with jq to extract URLs from .results[].media_formats.gif.url. URL-encode spaces in the query as + characters.
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. The Skill shows a one-liner that downloads the top search result.
Get a free Tenor API key from the Google Cloud Console by following the Tenor quickstart guide at developers.google.com/tenor. Set it as the TENOR_API_KEY environment variable before running searches.
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.
Missing results usually come from an unset 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.
