get_watchlist_by_name("My First List") gives 404 Client Error

[Rijtim1]

robin_stocks.account.get_watchlist_by_name() give a 404 Client error. I have tried with other watchlists still the same.

I get a response as expected when I try this. When I misspell the name of the watchlist, I get the error you're getting.

>>> rh.account.get_watchlist_by_name('DIV')

make sure you are typing in the name of the watchlist with the correct capitalization and spelling. If you don't supply a name it defaults to My First List and if you don't have that list in your profile then you will get a 400 error.
