Tenor API is shutting down

2•ankushkun_•1h ago

I have been using tenor in a handful of social apps I build, even big platforms like Twitter, Whatsapp, Discord, all use Tenor (more than Giphy) to let people share GIFs.

This morning I received a mail from tenor that they are set to sunset the Tenor API on June 30.

No new signups starting now. All APIs will stop working after June 30 :(

This is unfortunate but not surprising. Google acquired Tenor in 2018 and has been slowly integrating it into their ecosystem.

For anyone looking for alternatives: - Giphy API (still free tier available ) - GIFDB (smaller but decent library) - Self-host with your own GIF collection

The real pain is migrating existing integrations. Anyone know if Google is offering a migration path or just killing it outright?

Google killing APIs has become so predictable there's literally a website tracking it (killedbygoogle.com).

What's wild is they give you 3 months to rip out and replace something that might be a core feature. That's not a migration timeline, that's an emergency. This is why vendor lock-in concerns aren't just paranoia anymore.
