# The v2 API stops working

Calls to /v2/* on Tenor API stopped working on June 30, 2026.

The Tenor API was sunset on June 30, 2026. This retirement affects all /v2/* endpoints. Requests to these endpoints fail since that date.

## What to use instead

Google offers no replacement for the service. You must remove the Tenor integration or choose another GIF API, which requires evaluating new providers, keys, and terms.

Google offers no replacement: moving to another GIF provider is a product decision, with its own key and terms.
