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/limit-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/market-close-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/market-open-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v3/trading/execution/orders/{orderId}` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/limit-orders` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/market-close-orders/positions/{positionId}` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/market-open-orders/by-amount` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/market-open-orders/by-units` - `POST /api/v2/trading/execution/orders` - `POST /api/v3/trading/execution/orders` --- This endpoint sends a cancellation request to cancel an order before execution. An order can be cancelled if it is waiting for the market to open, or for the trigger rate to be published (MIT orders). The cancellation request may be successful, and the order is cancelled, or unsuccessful, and the order is not cancelled. This operation is idempotent when the order is already closed or cancelled. A 200 response confirms the cancellation request was accepted, not that the order was cancelled - it may already have executed. Confirm with GET /api/v2/trading/info/orders:lookup: status.id 7 (Canceled) or 9 (CanceledPartiallyFilled) means the cancellation took effect, while 6 (PendingCancel) means it is still being processed. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json delete /api/v2/trading/execution/orders/{orderId} openapi: 3.0.1 info: 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 `), 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/trading/execution/orders/{orderId}: delete: tags: - Trading - Real summary: Cancels an order before it is executed description: >- **Rate limit:** 20 requests per 60 seconds.
