Tenor is shutting down – here's the alternative KLIPY

Looks like Google decided to shutdown third-party access to Tenor API (gif api). If you're affected by this change I'd like to suggest an Alternative solution - we've built an “instant switch” to KLIPY.

Migrate from Tenor by simply swapping https://tenor.googleapis.com with https://api.klipy.com/ in your codebase , generate a API free key in KLIPY’s Partner Panel and you’re ready to go - Tenor Migration is done.

Why make the switch?

* Partner panel analytics (requests, searches, usage trends, etc.) * Better localization (content relevance by country/language) * Optional monetization (opt-in) and rev share * Content filtering controls (safe content options) * Unlike GIPHY, we provide access to our api for free
