What can you do with the Carto data library?
Browse our Spatial Data Catalog to discover thousands of public & premium datasets to enrich your data. Discover how the Data Observatory enables Data Scientists, Analysts & Developers to save time on gathering & cleaning data. We compile a wide range of datasets across categories, from human mobility to points of interest to financial data.
Why do we need Carto for spatial data?
Data especially curated to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Datasets curated by CARTO in common geographic supports to ease spatial analytics. We spend time vetting providers so you don’t have to. We work side by side with market leaders to provide you the highest-quality, most accurate & relevant data globally.
Can a dataset be restricted to one person?
These customized user experience do not restrict what data users can access in the dataset. Use row-level security (RLS) in the dataset so that each person’s credentials determine which data they can access. Questions?
What to keep in mind when sharing a dataset?
Things to keep in mind about sharing datasets: When you share a dataset by managing permissions, by sharing reports or dashboards, or by publishing an app, you’re granting access to the entire dataset unless row-level security (RLS) limits their access.
What do I need to import geospatial data from Carto?
When a dataset is exported from CARTO, it includes the cartodb_id and the_geom columns, which will be reused if the dataset is then imported to the system. This ensures that importing an exported dataset contains the original exported dataset content and row order.
What happens when a file is imported into Carto?
When a file is imported, it is transformed into a dataset that can be processed by CARTO. The system automatically creates the following columns: This column is automatically created when overview representations of data are created (for datasets containing more than 500,000 points).
