This is a **shared quota** — the same budget is consumed by a group of related endpoints, so calling any of them reduces what is left for the others (you cannot call each at the full rate independently). Endpoints sharing this quota: - `GET /api/v1/market-data/exchanges` - `GET /api/v1/market-data/instrument-types` - `GET /api/v1/market-data/instruments` - `GET /api/v1/market-data/instruments/history/closing-price` - `GET /api/v1/market-data/instruments/rates` - `GET /api/v1/market-data/instruments/{instrumentId}/history/candles/{direction}/{interval}/{candlesCount}` - `GET /api/v1/market-data/search` - `GET /api/v1/market-data/stocks-industries` - `GET /api/v2/market-data/instruments/search` - `GET /api/v2/market-data/rates` --- Returns instrument (security) metadata, optionally filtered by instrument IDs or symbols, with cursor-based pagination. `instrumentsIds` and `symbols` are mutually exclusive. All filters are optional and independent; if neither `instrumentsIds` nor `symbols` is provided, results are not filtered by instrument and are simply paginated by `pageSize`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /api/v2/market-data/instruments openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: eToro Api version: v1.375.0 description: >- eToro’s public API provides access to real-time financial data, trading insights, and account management features, allowing developers to integrate eToro’s services into their applications. With access to market prices, historical data, and social trading information, the API empowers users to enhance their trading strategies. Designed for security and scalability, the eToro API ensures smooth and reliable integration for a variety of financial applications. For more details on integrating with eToro's public WebSocket service, please refer to the dedicated [WebSocket documentation](./websocket/websocket-doc.html). ## Authentication Every request must be authenticated with exactly one of two options: an OAuth 2.0 access token (`Authorization: Bearer `), or the non-interactive credential pair (`x-api-key` + `x-user-key` headers). The two options are mutually exclusive — a request carrying both is rejected. Each operation lists the OAuth scopes that grant access as alternative security requirements: a bearer token needs only ONE of them, and the same permissions govern the credential pair. servers: - url: https://public-api.etoro.com description: eToro Public API security: - apiKeyAuth: [] userKeyAuth: [] - oauth2: [] tags: - name: Agent Portfolios - name: Social Feeds - name: Balances - name: Clubs - name: Watchlists - name: Data - name: Top Assets - name: App Data - name: Market Data - name: Identity - name: Cash Accounts - name: Transfer - name: Notifications - name: PI Data - name: PortfolioSearch - name: Price Alerts - name: SSO - Applications - name: SSO - Scopes - name: Sub-Accounts - eToro Trading - name: Sub-Accounts - name: Trading - Demo - name: Trading - Real - name: Users Info - name: Rankings - name: User Stats - name: Copy Trading - name: Copy Trading - Demo paths: /api/v2/market-data/instruments: get: tags: - Market Data summary: Search for securities (instruments) by ID or symbol description: >- **Rate limit:** 120 requests per 60 seconds.
