Tenor

Tenor is Google's GIF search engine REST API that enables developers to integrate animated GIF search, trending GIFs, featured content, and category browsing into applications. The API processes over 300 million searches per day across 45+ languages with localized, region-appropriate content. Note: the developer docs state "As of Jan 2026, we are no longer accepting new API clients" and every docs page carries a Tenor API Service Discontinuation notice linking to Google's Tenor help center.

Tenor publishes 8 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Autocomplete API, Categories API, Featured API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include GIFs, Animated Images, Search, Media, and Google.

The Tenor catalog on APIs.io includes 2 JSON-LD contexts and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Tenor’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, support, status page, and 29 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
