Set delay between requests

By default, requests are delayed by 1.8 sec to avoid exceeding the 2000/hour rate limit. You can override the default delay by passing an argument to the YahooEarningsCalendar constructor.

import datetime
from yahoo_earnings_calendar import YahooEarningsCalendar

my_custom_delay_s = 0.5

yec = YahooEarningsCalendar(my_custom_delay_s)
