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: - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/demo/limit-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/demo/market-close-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/demo/market-open-orders/{orderId}` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/demo/limit-orders` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/demo/market-close-orders/positions/{positionId}` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/demo/market-open-orders/by-amount` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/demo/market-open-orders/by-units` - `POST /api/v2/trading/execution/demo/orders` --- This endpoint allows traders to cancel an order before execution. If the order has already been processed, cancellation will not be possible. This operation is idempotent when the order is already closed or cancelled. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json delete /api/v2/trading/execution/demo/orders/{orderId} openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: eToro Api version: v1.311.0 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.
