Facet navigation over every FRED series

Narrow the ~800,000-series FRED catalogue by facets instead of guessing words. Eight facets: geo, source, frequency, seasonality, geo_type, concept, license, release. Call with no arguments for the top values of every facet; pass tags= (semicolon-joined, e.g. tags=bis;france) to see what remains after that selection; pass q= to facet a free-text search; pass BOTH to drill down inside the search - they compose. Every value carries the exact tag token - paste it straight into tags= here or on /api/v1/macro/series (carry the same q= there too), which returns the matching series themselves.
