Carto

CARTO is a cloud-native location intelligence platform that lets developers and analysts build spatial applications directly on top of modern data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks). It exposes a Maps API for vector and tileset map data, an SQL API for spatial analytics, a Workflows API for executing no-code spatial pipelines, an Import API for data ingestion, and the Data Observatory for curated third-party spatial datasets — all backed by OAuth access tokens and API access tokens.
