Toggles a Like emotion on the specified post for the authenticated user. emotionType defaults to Like (the only supported emotion type). The call is idempotent — liking an already-liked entity succeeds silently.

Authorizations

Authorization · string · header · required

eToro OAuth2. Each operation lists the scopes that grant access as separate security requirements (OpenAPI OR semantics): the caller's token only needs ONE of them — you do NOT need all of them. The same scopes back the x-api-key/x-user-key credential pair.

Headers

x-request-id · string<uuid> · required

A unique request identifier.

Example:

"1bc26e37-0e15-4a54-9562-237bc24b47e2"

x-api-key · string<password> · required

API key for authentication.

Example:

"lhgfaslk21490FAScVPkdsb53F9dNkfHG4faZSG5vfjndfcfgdssdgsdHF4663"

x-user-key · string<password> · required

User-specific authentication key.

Example:

"eyJlYW4iOiJVbnJlZ2lzdGVyZWRBcHBsaWNhdGlvbiIsImVrIjoiOE5sZ2cwcW5EUVdROUFNWGpXT2lmOWktZnpidG5KcUlqWGJ3WHJZZkpZcldrbG90ZEhvLVBjSWhQaU8xU1ZtMW84aU1WZGZqN2xWNzFjLXFxLmcybXE1dnh4Q1hUT25xaWRUaTFlcEhmVk1fIn0_"
