# Analytics Toolbox for BigQuery
The CARTO Analytics Toolbox for BigQuery is a set of UDFs and Stored Procedures to unlock Spatial Analytics. It is organized in a set of modules based on the functionality they offer. There are two types of modules: *core* modules, which are [open source](https://github.com/CartoDB/analytics-toolbox-core) and free to use for anyone with a BigQuery account, and *advanced* modules, only available with a CARTO account.
Visit the [SQL Reference](/data-and-analysis/analytics-toolbox-for-bigquery/sql-reference.md) to see the full list of available modules and functions. If you already have a CARTO account, please refer to [this guide](/data-and-analysis/analytics-toolbox-for-bigquery/getting-access.md#access-from-carto-workspace) on how to get access to the entire collection of modules of the Analytics Toolbox. If you don’t have a CARTO account and are looking to access the *core* modules for free, please [follow these instructions](/data-and-analysis/analytics-toolbox-for-bigquery/getting-access.md#free-access-to-the-core-modules) instead.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.carto.com/data-and-analysis/analytics-toolbox-for-bigquery.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
