To retrieve positions from the Webull API, you'll need to send an authorized request to the relevant endpoint. Since Webull's API is not officially documented, this guide is based on commonly reverse-engineered methods.

### Prerequisites
1. **Access Token**: Authenticate using Webull's login API to obtain your access_token.
2. **Account ID**: Retrieve your account ID using the account details API.

### Sample Python Code to Get Positions

#### Install Required Libraries:
bash
pip install requests

#### Code:
python
import requests
import json
# Webull API Base URL
BASE_URL = "https://api.webull.com/api/trade"
# Replace with your credentials
ACCESS_TOKEN = "your_access_token" # Token obtained after login
ACCOUNT_ID = "your_account_id" # Fetch using account details API
def get_positions():
 """
 Function to retrieve positions from Webull account.
 :return: API response with account positions
 """
 url = f"{BASE_URL}/v2/option/positions?secAccountId={ACCOUNT_ID}"
 headers = {
 "Authorization": f"Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}",
 "Content-Type": "application/json",
 }
 # Send GET request
 response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

 if response.status_code == 200:
 return response.json()
 else:
 return {
 "error": response.status_code,
 "message": response.text,
 }
# Example: Get positions
positions = get_positions()
print(json.dumps(positions, indent=4))
