Analytics Toolbox for Databricks

The CARTO Analytics Toolbox for Databricks extends your Databricks environment with additional geospatial capabilities, including geocoding, routing, and isoline generation through Location Data Services.

Available modules

The Analytics Toolbox currently includes:

• Location Data Services (LDS) - Geocoding, reverse geocoding, isoline generation, and routing powered by third-party services.

• Gateway - An internal module with API integration functions for connecting to CARTO services.

For spatial operations like buffers, intersections, and transformations, you can use Databricks' native spatial SQL functions directly. These work seamlessly with CARTO's Databricks connection.

Requirements

• Unity Catalog enabled in your Databricks workspace

• A SQL Warehouse provisioned in your workspace
