    This is unfortunate but not surprising. Google acquired Tenor in 2018 and has been slowly integrating it into their ecosystem.

    For anyone looking for alternatives: - Giphy API (still free tier available ) - GIFDB (smaller but decent library) - Self-host with your own GIF collection

    The real pain is migrating existing integrations. Anyone know if Google is offering a migration path or just killing it outright?

    Google killing APIs has become so predictable there's literally a website tracking it (killedbygoogle.com).

    What's wild is they give you 3 months to rip out and replace something that might be a core feature. That's not a migration timeline, that's an emergency. This is why vendor lock-in concerns aren't just paranoia anymore.
