https://register.marketwatch.com/register?type=mw-vse

from marketwatch import MarketWatch

mw = MarketWatch("email", "password")

Example Usage

With the MarketWatch instance created and authenticated, you can now use the various methods provided by the library. Here's an example of how to retrieve your portfolio information:

mw = MarketWatch("email", "password")
portfolio = mw.get_portfolio()
