Migrate from Tenor GIF API to KLIPY in Seconds

Giorgi Khachidze — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 13:42:53 +0000

If you are currently using the Tenor API for GIFs and Stickers and are looking for better monetization or analytics, I wanted to share a quick migration guide to KLIPY.

Hundreds of apps have already made the switch (including major platforms like Baidu and KiKa). The API is also vetted and stable in industry giants like Canva, Figma, Miro, and Microsoft Outlook.

The best part? The migration path is engineered to be a drop-in replacement. You can essentially keep your existing integration logic and just swap the endpoint.

Here is the 10-second migration workflow:

🛠️ The Migration Steps

Get your API Key. Go to partner.klipy.com, sign up, and generate a key under "Add Platform."
Swap the Endpoint

FROM: tenor.googleapis.com

TO: api.klipy.com

Update Branding Simply add the KLIPY Brand Attributions to your search bar/content area.
Go Live Request production access via the Partner Panel.

💡 Why Devs are Switching?
It’s Monetizable: Unlike legacy providers, KLIPY offers an optional, out-of-the-box solution to generate revenue via non-intrusive ads in the GIF/Sticker tab.

Analytics: The Partner Panel gives you real-time data on trending or search requests by country and date.

Performance: You get the same (or higher) engagement rates compared to Tenor.

Happy coding! ✨
