# eToro Unsubscribe

Independent and unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any broker or platform named here. Educational only: nothing here is advice, and nothing here recommends a broker or a trade.

This is the markdown version of https://openbrokerapi.com/brokers/etoro/messages/unsubscribe, written from the same records as that page.

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.

Stops delivery of the topics named. The connection stays open and other subscriptions are not touched.

- Message: `Unsubscribe`
- Interface: eToro WebSocket API
- Group: Control channel
- Status: verified. Source: [api-portal.etoro.com](https://api-portal.etoro.com/core/websocket/notifications/websockets/control-channel-request-response.md), checked 2026-10-12.
- The definition file it was checked against: https://api-portal.etoro.com/api-reference/asyncapi.json

This is a message of the eToro WebSocket API, not an HTTP endpoint. It has no method and no path: it is sent as JSON over an open WebSocket connection. It is in no OpenAPI file on this site and the request builder does not list it.

## The message

- Name: `Unsubscribe`
- Direction: Request, sent by the client
- Carried by: WebSocket.
- WebSocket address: `wss://ws.etoro.com/ws`

## Fields

- `id` (type string (uuid), required): An id you generate for the request. The acknowledgement carries the same value, which is how an answer is matched to its request.
- `operation` (type string, required): Always Unsubscribe.
- `data` (type object, required): Holds the topics.
- `data.topics` (type array of strings, required): The topics to stop.

## What arrives

An acknowledgement on the same connection. It repeats the id and the operation, and success says whether the Unsubscribe request was accepted.

- `id` (type string (uuid), required): The id of the request being acknowledged.
- `success` (type boolean, required): true where the request was accepted, false where it was not.
- `operation` (type string, required): The operation being acknowledged: Authenticate, Subscribe or Unsubscribe.
- `errorMessage` (type string, optional): A message, present where success is false.
- `errorCode` (type string, optional): An error code, present where success is false.

## Sample

Written by this site from the fields recorded on this page. It has not been run against a terminal, a server or an account, and the values in it are placeholders. No credential is typed into it: where a field holds one, the placeholder says where it comes from. Nothing is entered on this site.
