+# GIF Search (Tenor API)
+
+Search and download GIFs directly via the Tenor API using curl. No extra tools needed.
+
+## When to use
+
+Useful for finding reaction GIFs, creating visual content, and sending GIFs in chat.
+
+## Setup
+
+Set your Tenor API key in your environment (add to `~/.hermes/.env`):
+
+```bash
+TENOR_API_KEY=your_key_here
+```
+
+Get a free API key at https://developers.google.com/tenor/guides/quickstart — the Google Cloud Console Tenor API key is free and has generous rate limits.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `curl` and `jq` (both standard on macOS/Linux)
+- `TENOR_API_KEY` environment variable
+
+## Search for GIFs
+
+```bash
+# Search and get GIF URLs
+curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=thumbs+up&limit=5&key=${TENOR_API_KEY}" | jq -r '.results[].media_formats.gif.url'
+
+# Get smaller/preview versions
+curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=nice+work&limit=3&key=${TENOR_API_KEY}" | jq -r '.results[].media_formats.tinygif.url'
+```
+
+## Download a GIF
+
+```bash
+# Search and download the top result
+URL=$(curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=celebration&limit=1&key=${TENOR_API_KEY}" | jq -r '.results[0].media_formats.gif.url')
+curl -sL "$URL" -o celebration.gif
+```
+
+## Get Full Metadata
+
+```bash
+curl -s "https://tenor.googleapis.com/v2/search?q=cat&limit=3&key=${TENOR_API_KEY}" | jq '.results[] | {title: .title, url: .media_formats.gif.url, preview: .media_formats.tinygif.url, dimensions: .media_formats.gif.dims}'
+```
+
+## API Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `q` | Search query (URL-encode spaces as `+`) |
+| `limit` | Max results (1-50, default 20) |
+| `key` | API key (from `$TENOR_API_KEY` env var) |
+| `media_filter` | Filter formats: `gif`, `tinygif`, `mp4`, `tinymp4`, `webm` |
+| `contentfilter` | Safety: `off`, `low`, `medium`, `high` |
+| `locale` | Language: `en_US`, `es`, `fr`, etc. |
+
+## Available Media Formats
+
+Each result has multiple formats under `.media_formats`:
+
+| Format | Use case |
+|--------|----------|
+| `gif` | Full quality GIF |
+| `tinygif` | Small preview GIF |
+| `mp4` | Video version (smaller file size) |
+| `tinymp4` | Small preview video |
+| `webm` | WebM video |
+| `nanogif` | Tiny thumbnail |
+
+## Notes
+
+- URL-encode the query: spaces as `+`, special chars as `%XX`
+- For sending in chat, `tinygif` URLs are lighter weight
+- GIF URLs can be used directly in markdown: `![alt](url)`
