I'm told that the youths of today find using animated gif reactions 'cringe'. As a millennial who misspent her youth on Tumblr, reacting to good game news with a gif of The Arm from Twin Peaks rubbing his hands together has become an unfortunate part of my idiolect. Before I break out the folder of Supernatural gifs and probably curse us all, it's worth noting that finding the perfect gif for your posts to X and Discord has become that much harder— because Google has killed the Tenor API.
Developers have known this was coming since at least January, as fresh API key sign-ups and new integrations stopped being accepted back then. Google shared via a support article that, "As part of an ongoing effort to focus resources on enhancing our core products, we've made the decision to sunset the Tenor API on June 30, 2026."
Don't worry, all those oddly satisfying Opus Magnum gifs aren't yet going anywhere—for now....
