# Search for trader portfolios or Smart Portfolios by free-text query

> **Rate limit:** 60 requests per 60 seconds. This is the **default shared quota** — it is shared with every other endpoint that has no dedicated limit, so requests across those endpoints all draw from the same budget.

---

Returns a relevance-ranked list of publicly visible trader portfolios or Smart Portfolios matching the query string. The required `type` parameter determines which index is searched. Results are capped at `limit`.



## OpenAPI

  title: eToro Api
  version: v1.387.0
  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 <token>`), 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.
