#' Request filtered API results
#'
#' @description
#' Fiscal Data API allows for the filtering of results on the server side,
#' leading to a smaller payload. The combinations of fields and operators
#' supported are not currently defined, so it is suggested you test the desired
#' combinations before relying on them.
#'
#' @section Syntax:
#' A filter should be a named list of key-value pairs where the name corresponds
#' to the field that should be filtered and the value is a character vector or a
#' list where the name of an item corresponds to the operator and the value
#' corresponds to the operand. One field may have more than one filter.
#'
#' @section Operators:
#'  - `>`, `<`  Greater-than and lesser-than
#'  - `>=`, `<=`  Greater-/lesser-than or equal-to
#'  - `=`  Equal to
#'  - `in`  Subset-of
#'
#' @examples
#' \dontrun{
#'  #records with a record_date no older than 10 days ago
#'  list(record_date = c('>=' = lubridate::today()-10))
#'
#'  #records with a record_date between two dates
#'  list(
#'    record_date = c('>=' = '2022-01-01'),
#'    record_date = c('<=' = '2022-12-31')
#'  )
#'
#'  #records with a specific record_date
#'  list(record_date = c('=' = lubridate::today()-2))
#'
#'  #records where record_date is any of a set of specific dates
#'  list(
#'    record_date = list('in' = c('2022-06-13','2022-06-15','2022-06-17')

#' `ustfd_query()` will verify the endpoint is valid and return a list suitable
#' for passing to [ustfd_url()] and [ustfd_request()].
#'
#' @param endpoint required string representing an API endpoint
#' @param filter optional list used to subset the data. See [filter-syntax] for
#' more information.
#' @param fields optional character vector of the fields to be retrieved
#' @param sort optional string or character vector. Ordering defaults to
#' ascending, to specify descending order precede the field name with '-'
#' @param page_size optional integer for pagination
#' @param page_number optional integer for pagination
