description	Search Tenor for reaction media and download the result you need. Prefer video formats like mp4 or webm unless the user explicitly needs a GIF.

GIF Search

Prefer mp4 or webm over raw GIF when possible. They are smaller, faster, and usually easier to ship.

Search

curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=thumbs+up&limit=5&key=AIzaSyAyimkuYQYF_FXVALexPuGQctUWRURdCYQ" | jq -r '.results[].media_formats.mp4.url'
curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=nice+work&limit=3&key=AIzaSyAyimkuYQYF_FXVALexPuGQctUWRURdCYQ" | jq -r '.results[].media_formats.gif.url'

Download

URL=$(curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=celebration&limit=1&key=AIzaSyAyimkuYQYF_FXVALexPuGQctUWRURdCYQ" | jq -r '.results[0].media_formats.mp4.url')
curl -sL "$URL" -o celebration.mp4

Notes

• Use gif only when the destination truly requires a GIF
• For chat or app delivery, mp4, tinymp4, or webm are usually the better default
• The bundled key is a public demo key and may be rate limited
