Subject: [PATCH] [Fix] Restore index data fetching from niftyindices.com
 (Issue #71)

- Update _post_json to use 'cinfo' key and stringified payload as required by the updated API.\n- Add 'indexName' to payload in _index and _index_pe methods.\n- Fix bug in derivatives_csv where 'series' was used instead of 'instrument_type' for filename generation.
