Hey everyone hopefully someone here can help me out! (Will try to keep this short and simple)

First off I know very little about coding/python so please excuse my ignorance haha!

Basically, I have a functioning code written in python language. This code is acting as a stock scanner with the criteria that has been written. It scans over Yahoo Finance as the database using it's historical price data stored to give me a list of stocks that meat the criteria.

I need help in being able to tweak the criteria it searches for. I want to make it more basic. When I try to mess with the parameters, I either a get poor list of results, nothing at all, or errors. I'm hoping this can be a simple fix.

Please let me know if you can help me! I hope I explained in a way that makes sense :) I'm willing to throw some fg your way for your time if we can edit this code! Thank you

Is this done with an API or by scraping the yahoo finance website?

I might be able to help, but I need more details to know what the extent of the work will be :)
