What is the WebSocket API

The eToro WebSocket API provides real-time streaming access to market data and trading events through a persistent connection. This API enables developers to build responsive applications that react instantly to market changes, order updates, and portfolio events without the overhead of constant HTTP polling. The API uses JSON message format over WebSocket protocol, supporting both public market data streams and private authenticated feeds for personalized trading information.
