Execute Economic Reporting

To run an economic report, use `get_cpih` to fetch the official UK inflation measure. This is perfect for cron jobs that need fresh headline figures. If you're building a financial pipeline, running `get_gdp` is critical. It provides both quarterly and annual GDP data by region, ideal for scheduled benchmarking.

Process Business & Demographic Data

The `get_business_counts` tool pulls enterprise counts from the IDBR, letting your script track commercial growth over time. This is a valuable input for any economic model. For demographic context, use `get_population_projections`. It gets UK population forecasts for older people and sex ratios by local authority.

Automate Market Trend Analysis

Use the `get_spending_cards` tool to pull weekly debit and credit card spending data. This stream is excellent for real-time market monitoring scripts. Complement this with `get_trade`, which provides monthly goods trade data (imports/exports) by country, giving you a full picture of global commerce.
