Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.

Also the example call on eToro's authentication page. The documented meta shows limits of 10 watchlists and 1000 items per watchlist. Shared read quota of 60 requests per 60 seconds across the watchlist read calls. Method, path and parameters, with their required flags, were re-read on eToro's reference page for this call on 12 Oct 2026 and agree with this record; the mock reply was not compared field by field.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Description
x-request-idrequired	header	string (uuid)	A fresh UUID for every request.
itemsPerPageForSingle	query	integer	Items per watchlist; default 100.
ensureBuiltinWatchlists	query	boolean	Include built in watchlists; default true.
addRelatedAssets	query	boolean	Include related assets; default false.

Authentication headers

Name	Type	Description
x-api-keyrequired	string	Your public API key, which identifies the application. Sent with x-user-key; eToro's reference says an OAuth 2.0 bearer token can be used instead of the key pair, not alongside it. Placeholder only: never paste a real key into this site.
x-user-keyrequired	string	Your user key from Settings > Trading > API Key Management. Each key is tied to one environment (Demo or Real) and to Read or Write permission. Placeholder only.

Request

Written from the method, path and parameters recorded on this page. No demo host is recorded as a plain address for this API, so the samples read the base address from an environment variable. Not executed against a live or demo account. Credentials are read from environment variables on your own machine and are never entered on this site. The request builder writes these same snippets, from the same record.

# Replace each {placeholder}, "..." and 0 with a real value before running.
