Upload a media attachment

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.

---

Two-step media upload: clients first upload a file here to receive an Attachment object, then pass its url in a POST /feeds/post or POST /reactions/…/comment payload. Accepts multipart/form-data with a binary file field. Supported formats: JPEG and PNG. Maximum file size: 8 MB (8,388,608 bytes). The returned url is a plain CDN URL scoped to the uploading user.

POST /api/v1/attachments

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:

"7972fd3d-6383-42b8-9e96-4a57a7c82d37"

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

API key for authentication.

Example:

"lhgfaslk21490FAScVPkdsb53F9dNkfHG4faZSG5vfjndfcfgdssdgsdHF4663"

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

User-specific authentication key.

Example:

"eyJlYW4iOiJVbnJlZ2lzdGVyZWRBcHBsaWNhdGlvbiIsImVrIjoiOE5sZ2cwcW5EUVdROUFNWGpXT2lmOWktZnpidG5KcUlqWGJ3WHJZZkpZcldrbG90ZEhvLVBjSWhQaU8xU1ZtMW84aU1WZGZqN2xWNzFjLXFxLmcybXE1dnh4Q1hUT25xaWRUaTFlcEhmVk1fIn0_"

Query Parameters

Client-generated correlation ID (UUID). Required for request tracing and idempotency.

Body
