Announcing eToro API v2: Faster, Simpler, More Powerful

We're excited to announce the general availability of eToro API v2 — a ground-up redesign that makes building on eToro faster, simpler, and more powerful than ever.

What's New

Simplified Authentication

Gone are the days of complex OAuth flows for basic API access. API v2 introduces API key authentication for read-only endpoints, while keeping OAuth 2.0 for trading operations:

// Read-only: just an API key
const quotes = await fetch("https://api.etoro.com/api/sor/v3/quotes/AAPL", {
  headers: { "X-API-Key": "your_api_key" },
});

// Trading: OAuth bearer token
const order = await fetch("https://api.etoro.com/api/sor/v3/orders", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer your_oauth_token" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ instrument: "AAPL", direction: "BUY", amount: 100 }),
});

10x Faster Market Data

Our new market data infrastructure delivers quotes with sub-10ms latency — a 10x improvement over v1. This is possible thanks to:

• Edge-cached instrument metadata
• Binary WebSocket frames with MessagePack encoding
• Regional endpoints in US, EU, and APAC

New Social Trading Endpoints

API v2 adds first-class support for eToro's social features:

Endpoint	Description
GET /social/feed	Latest posts from your network
GET /social/popular-investors	Top PI rankings and stats
GET /social/sentiment/{instrument}	Community sentiment data
POST /social/copy	Start copying a trader

Migration Guide

Migrating from v1 to v2 is straightforward:

1. Update the base URL from /api/v1/ to /api/sor/v3/
2. Switch to API keys for read-only endpoints (optional but recommended)
3. Update response parsing — v2 wraps data in { data, meta } envelope
4. Update WebSocket — new binary frame support (JSON fallback available)

We've published a detailed migration guide in the API Portal.

What's Next

Over the coming months, we'll be rolling out:

• Webhook notifications for trade events and price alerts
• GraphQL API for flexible data queries
• Sandbox improvements with historical data replay
