How it works

Reads the Bank of England Database's public CSV download (no key). Bank of England statistical data can be reused, including commercially, with the source acknowledged ('Source: Bank of England'); a few series contain third-party data with their own terms, and the core rates (Bank Rate, SONIA, BoE FX) are the Bank's own. Up to 30 series per run. Unknown codes return ok: false and nothing is charged.
