Description: Simple and efficient access to Yahoo Finance's 'history'
        API <https://finance.yahoo.com/> for querying and retrieving
        financial data. The 'yfhist' package abstracts the complexities
        of interacting with Yahoo Finance APIs, such as session
        management, crumb and cookie handling, query construction, date
        validation, and interval management. This abstraction allows
        users to focus on retrieving data rather than managing API
        details. Use cases include retrieving historical data across a
        range of security types such as equities and ETFs, indices, and
        other tickers. The package supports flexible query
        capabilities, including customizable date ranges, multiple time
        intervals, and automatic data validation. It manages
        interval-specific limitations automatically, such as lookback
        periods for intraday data and maximum date ranges for
        minute-level intervals. The implementation uses standard HTTP
        libraries to handle API interactions efficiently and is
        available in both R and 'Python' for accessibility to a broad
        audience.
