Description: Simple and efficient access to Yahoo Finance's 'screener'
        API <https://finance.yahoo.com/research-hub/screener/> for
        querying and retrieving financial data. The 'yfscreen' package
        abstracts the complexities of interacting with Yahoo Finance
        APIs, such as session management, crumb and cookie handling,
        query construction, pagination, and JSON payload generation.
        This abstraction allows users to focus on filtering and
        retrieving data rather than managing API details. Use cases
        include screening across a range of security types such as
        equities, mutual funds, ETFs, indices, and futures. The package
        supports advanced query capabilities, including logical
        operators, nested filters, and customizable payloads. It
        automatically handles pagination for efficient retrieval of
        large datasets by fetching results in batches of up to 250
        entries per request. Filters are defined as lists of conditions
        to accommodate a wide range of screens. The implementation uses
        standard HTTP libraries to handle API interactions efficiently
        and supports both R and 'Python' to make it accessible for a
        broad audience.
