Try KLIPY also - https://klipy.com/migrate we have much better GIFs, free access and monetization features. It takes 10 minutes to switch from Tenor with base URL swap.

played with your API a bit and ran some searches with contentfilter=high, response objects don’t seem to include a per-item rating / nsfw flag (like GIPHY does)

For apps that need strict SFW, is the expectation just to rely on the request-side filtering, or is there additional metadata I should be looking at that might not be documented yet?

This is really weird, honestly. Any chance you could send me url you're using so I can see what GIFs it returns? 100% of our content are in 4 different categories G, PG, PG13, R. G is super safe for everyone to use

gliphy is horrible when it comes to gifs, they are sooooooo heavily curated and its insane to find a proper gif in there.
