GIF Search (Tenor API)

Search and download GIFs directly via the Tenor API using curl. No extra tools needed.

Prerequisites

  • curl and jq (both standard on Linux)

Search for GIFs

bash
# Search and get GIF URLs
curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=thumbs+up&limit=5&key=AIzaSyAyimkuYQYF_FXVALexPuGQctUWRURdCYQ" | jq -r '.results[].media_formats.gif.url'
 
# Get smaller/preview versions
curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=nice+work&limit=3&key=AIzaSyAyimkuYQYF_FXVALexPuGQctUWRURdCYQ" | jq -r '.results[].media_formats.tinygif.url'

Download a GIF

bash
# Search and download the top result
URL=$(curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=celebration&limit=1&key=AIzaSyAyimkuYQYF_FXVALexPuGQctUWRURdCYQ" | jq -r '.results[0].media_formats.gif.url')
curl -sL "$URL" -o celebration.gif

Get Full Metadata

bash
curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=cat&limit=3&key=AIzaSyAyimkuYQYF_FXVALexPuGQctUWRURdCYQ" | jq '.results[] | {title: .title, url: .media_formats.gif.url, preview: .media_formats.tinygif.url, dimensions: .media_formats.gif.dims}'

Notes

  • The API key above is Tenor's public demo key — it works but has rate limits
  • URL-encode the query: spaces as +, special chars as %XX
  • For sending in chat, tinygif URLs are lighter weight
  • GIF URLs can be used directly in markdown: ![alt](url)
