}Overview
Creates a new watchlist for the authenticated user. A watchlist groups assets together for tracking and monitoring. You must provide a title and a list of asset IDs (UUIDs).Asset IDs must be Messari UUIDs (e.g.,
1e31218a-e44e-4285-820c-8282ee222035 for Bitcoin). Slugs and symbols are not accepted. Use the Asset API to look up asset UUIDs.⌘I
