Etoro Apps

eToro Public API

Base URL: https://public-api.etoro.com/api/v1

About

This skill allows to interact with the user's eToro account programatically, including executing trades.

Authentication & Required Headers

The eToro API supports two authentication methods. Both use the same base URL and endpoints — only the auth headers differ.

Method 1 — OAuth SSO (Bearer Token)

If the user authenticated via "Login with eToro" (SSO/OAuth), an access_token is available from the token exchange.

Headers (every request):

• x-request-id: unique UUID per request
• Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

Where access_token comes from:

1. User clicks "Login with eToro" → redirects to https://www.etoro.com/sso/ with PKCE challenge.
2. User authenticates on eToro's side.
3. eToro redirects back with an authorization code.
4. The code is exchanged for tokens via POST https://www.etoro.com/sso/oidc/token:
   • grant_type=authorization_code
   • code=<auth_code>
   • redirect_uri=<callback_url>
   • code_verifier=<pkce_verifier>
   • Plus Authorization: Basic <base64(client_id:client_secret)> header
5. Response contains:
   • access_token — this is the Bearer token for API calls (~2130 chars, JWT)
   • id_token — JWT with user identity (sub claim = 128-char encoded user ID)
   • token_type: "Bearer"
   • expires_in: (varies)

Example:

curl -X GET "https://public-api.etoro.com/api/v1/watchlists" \
  -H "x-request-id: <UUID>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

Method 2 — Manual API Keys

If the user provides API keys manually (no OAuth), use key-based auth.

Keys (request from the user on install)

• Public API Key: application
• User Key: user account
• Environment: Real Portfolio or Virtual Portfolio (real/demo)

Key generation (user-facing):

1. Log in to eToro.
2. Settings > Trading.
3. Create New Key.
4. Choose Environment (Real or Virtual/Demo) and Permissions (Read or Write).
5. Verify identity and copy the generated User Key.

Headers (every request):

• x-request-id: unique UUID per request
• x-api-key: Public API Key (<PUBLIC_KEY>)
• x-user-key: User Key (<USER_KEY>)

Example:

curl -X GET "https://public-api.etoro.com/api/v1/watchlists" \
  -H "x-request-id: <UUID>" \
  -H "x-api-key: <PUBLIC_KEY>" \
  -H "x-user-key: <USER_KEY>"

Choosing the Auth Method in Code

When making requests, check which credentials are available:

if (ctx.accessToken) {
  // SSO auth — Bearer token from OAuth token exchange
  headers["Authorization"] = `Bearer ${ctx.accessToken}`;
} else {
  // Manual API key auth
  headers["x-api-key"] = ctx.apiKey;
  headers["x-user-key"] = ctx.userKey;
}

Request Conventions

• All paths below are relative to the Base URL (which already includes /api/v1).
  Example: GET /watchlists means GET https://public-api.etoro.com/api/v1/watchlists.
• Query params go in the URL, path params go in the URL path.
• For query params that are documented as array, send them as comma-separated values (e.g., instrumentIds=1001,1002).
• Pagination patterns vary by endpoint:
  • Search: pageNumber, pageSize
  • People search & trade history: page, pageSize
  • Feeds: take, offset
  • Watchlist items listing: pageNumber, itemsPerPage
• Casing matters for request bodies:
  • Trading execution uses PascalCase fields (e.g., InstrumentID, IsBuy, Leverage).
  • Market close body uses InstrumentId (capital I, lowercase d).
  • Watchlist items use ItemId, ItemType, ItemRank.
  • Feeds post body uses lower camel (owner, message, tags, mentions, attachments).
• Some responses may use different casing for similar concepts (e.g., instrumentId vs InstrumentID). When extracting IDs, handle both if present.

Demo vs Real Trading

• Use demo execution endpoints (contain /demo/) for testing and paper trading.
• Use non-demo execution endpoints for real trading.
• For portfolio/PnL:
  • Demo: /trading/info/demo/*
  • Real: /trading/info/portfolio and /trading/info/real/pnl
• Ensure your key environment matches the endpoint (Virtual vs Real). Each User Key is associated with a specific environment.

Use Defaults

• Important: You don't need to specify all parameters. If the user doesn't specify leverage for example, don't send it on the API request.

Quick Start (Demo Trade)

1. Resolve instrumentId using search.
   fields is required on search requests.

curl -X GET "https://public-api.etoro.com/api/v1/market-data/search?internalSymbolFull=BTC&fields=instrumentId,internalSymbolFull,displayname" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
  -H "x-request-id: <UUID>"

2. Place a demo market order by amount (PascalCase body):

curl -X POST "https://public-api.etoro.com/api/v1/trading/execution/demo/market-open-orders/by-amount" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
  -H "x-request-id: <UUID>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "InstrumentID": 100000,
    "IsBuy": true,
    "Leverage": 1,
    "Amount": 100
  }'

Note: The examples above use OAuth (Bearer token). For API key auth, replace the Authorization header with x-api-key and x-user-key headers instead.

Common IDs

• instrumentId: from Search or Instruments metadata
• positionId: from Portfolio endpoints
• orderId: from execution responses or Portfolio endpoints
• marketId: used by instrument feed endpoints (typically available in instrument metadata/search fields)
• userId: numeric eToro user ID (often referred to as CID in responses; discover via People endpoints/search)
• watchlistId: from watchlists list/create endpoints
