How to migrate from Tenor's V1 API
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
For existing integrations that use Tenor's V1 API, follow the steps on this page to
migrate to V2.
Get a V2 API key
Follow the instructions in the setup
step of the quickstart guide to get a V2 API key to replace your V1 version.
Update to V2 domains
Update your API domain to https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/. Tenor's V2 API only
supports HTTPS connections. For content, be sure your application supports content downloads from
https://media.tenor.com and https://c.tenor.com.
For example, suppose you made an API call to one of the following V1 domains:
https://api.tenor.com/v1/search?<parameters>https://g.tenor.com/v1/search?<parameters>
To update the calls to V2, change them to
https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?<parameters>.
Endpoint changes
The majority of API endpoint parameters are unchanged from what's documented in V1. There are a
few notable exceptions:
- Tenor's Search endpoint
now supports sticker search through the
searchfilter
parameter.
- Include the
client_key and country parameters on API calls.
- The
media_filter parameter now takes a comma-separated list of the desired
formats rather than preset enums.
- The Categories endpoint now
supports
featured and trending for the type
parameter.
- The API no longer supports the
anon_id parameter.
- When there are no more pages of results to request, the
next field of API
responses is now a blank string rather than "0".
The following changes have been made to the endpoints available:
- The Trending endpoint is no longer supported. Instead, we recommend you use the
Featured endpoint.
- The GIF endpoint has been rebranded as the
Posts endpoint.
- The Random GIF endpoint has been incorporated into the
Search endpoint through the
random
parameter.
Response object and error changes
- The GIF Object has been rebranded to the
Response
Object.
- In the
Response
Object, the
media field has been rebranded as media_formats. The
value for media_formats is now a map
{ CONTENT_FORMAT : MEDIA_OBJECT } rather than an array of maps.
- The content thumbnail previews have been moved from the
Media Object
for each
content
format to its own format. They're offered under the
media_formats field in
the Response
Object.
- When there are no more results in a response object, the
next field is an empty
string, "", rather than "0".
- Tenor API error codes have been migrated to Google's standard API
error codes.
