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
        handles pagination automatically, fetching results in batches
        of up to 250 entries per request for efficient retrieval of
        large datasets. Filters can be defined dynamically to support a
        wide range of screening needs. 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.
