Getting access

There are different ways to access the functions and procedures included in the CARTO Analytics Toolbox for BigQuery:

• Projects maintained by CARTO in different BigQuery regions: This is the most standard and easy way to get access to the Analytics Toolbox. It provides access to the latest version in all GCP regions.

• Manual installation in your own project: This is the option of choice if you need to use a specific version of the Analytics Toolbox, or need to access the functions in a self maintained project.

• Installation in a Google Cloud VPC: This is the only suitable option for Self Hosted deployments of the CARTO platform in a Google Cloud VPC, as the Analytics Toolbox functions need to be accessed from within the same VPC.

There is a reduced version of the Analytics Toolbox that contains only core functionality. This version is open source and can be used freely from a BigQuery project maintained by CARTO or installed manually in your own project.
