# Get or create "My watchlist"

`POST /lists/default`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.companystack.co.uk`
- URL: `https://api.companystack.co.uk/lists/default`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-Api-Key`

The one-click target for watching a company. Same list as the /watchlist endpoints.

## Response `200`

Existing default list

## Other responses

- `201`: Created
- `401`: API key missing, malformed or revoked
- `403`: Plan limit or feature not included
- `429`: Per-minute or per-day limit reached (`code: rate_limited`, `window: minute|day`). Wait `Retry-After` seconds; when both windows are full the day is reported. A refused request does not count against either limit. A bulk lookup (`POST /company/bulk`) counts each company number in it as one request, so one that is more than you have left is refused whole, and the body adds `requested` and `fits`.
