List a curated catalog of well-known Bank of England IADB statistical series (policy rates, market rates, exchange rates, household rates) with their code, name, description, unit and frequency. Use this to discover series codes to pass to get_series. get_series also accepts any other IADB code, not only these.

Fetch observations for any Bank of England IADB statistical series by its code (e.g. IUDSOIA for SONIA, XUDLUSS for USD/GBP). Optionally restrict to a date range and cap how many of the most recent points are returned. Use list_series to discover codes; any valid IADB code works, not only catalogued ones.
