Details

The first time `y_create_token()` is run the console will ask for a code and a web browser should open and ask you to log in to YAHOO! and after it will give the user a code. Copy and paste this code into the console to create your access token. If this step is being a nuisance and your default browser is Chrome try Firefox.

By default caching is enabled and httr will create a .httr-oauth file and you can refresh your token with `my_token$refresh()`.
