eToro API error code
eToro API error: Rate limit exceeded
What does Rate limit exceeded mean on the eToro API?
The rate limits page lists 60 requests a minute for reads and 20 for writes, per user key on a rolling minute. Endpoint reference pages add shared quotas per group, for example 120 requests per 60 seconds across 11 market data endpoints and 20 per 60 seconds for order execution, and list HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header.
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.
How do I fix Rate limit exceeded?
Pace each endpoint group to the quota on its reference page. Read the RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset headers, wait for the seconds in Retry-After on 429, then back off exponentially.
