Ready for OEM
OEM can be used on our multi-platform libraries, packaged, or with 3rd party libraries.
Geocoding
Forward and Reverse Geocoding
Geocoding allows datasets that don't contain a geospatial column to be transformed into a map with accurate and precise location identification. We make use of OpenStreetMap data or 3rd party providers to offer worldwide coverage. Affordable geocoding services can be stored and used anywhere you want. Depending on your needs, we can provide you with different options.
SELECT cdb_geocode_admin0_polygon('France')
UPDATE {tablename} SET {the_geom} = cdb_geocode_admin0_polygon({country_column})SELECT cdb_geocode_admin1_polygon('Alicante', 'Spain')
UPDATE {tablename} SET the_geom = cdb_geocode_admin1_polygon({province_column}, {country_column})SELECT cdb_geocode_namedplace_point('New York', 'New York', 'USA')
UPDATE {tablename} SET the_geom = cdb_geocode_namedplace_point({city_column}, {province_column}, 'Spain')SELECT cdb_geocode_postalcode_polygon('11211', 'USA')
UPDATE {tablename} SET the_geom = cdb_geocode_postalcode_polygon({postal_code_column}, 'USA')SELECT cdb_geocode_postalcode_point('11211', 'USA')
UPDATE {tablename} SET the_geom = cdb_geocode_postalcode_point({postal_code_column}, 'USA')SELECT cdb_geocode_ipaddress_point('102.23.34.1')
UPDATE {tablename} SET the_geom = cdb_geocode_ipaddress_point('102.23.34.1')SELECT cdb_geocode_street_point('651 Lombard Street', 'San Francisco', 'California', 'United States')
UPDATE {tablename} SET the_geom = cdb_geocode_street_point({street_name_column})This service is subject to quota limitations, and extra fees may apply. Please view our documentation, and terms and conditions.

Based on OpenStreetMap's road network data, CartoDB’s routing services provide flexible limits for easy driving, walking, and cycling and turn-by-turn directions that are available globally using the JavaScript client or the JSON API over HTTP.
SELECT duration, length, shape FROM cdb_route_point_to_point('POINT(-3.70237112 40.41706163)'::geometry,'POINT(-3.69909883 40.41236875)'::geometry, 'car')SELECT duration, length, shape FROM cdb_route_point_to_point('POINT(-3.70237112 40.41706163)'::geometry,'POINT(-3.69909883 40.41236875)'::geometry, 'walk')SELECT duration, length, shape FROM cdb_route_point_to_point('POINT(-3.70237112 40.41706163)'::geometry,'POINT(-3.69909883 40.41236875)'::geometry, 'bicycle')Learn how to use our Routing

Time and distance isolines
A strategic approach to distance that saves time and resources
Time and Distance Isolines offer forward and reverse measurements of distance to accurately run calculations up to the minute and with a meter level of detail. Determine how long it takes to go to various location points via walking or driving, and the area covered by a specific distance to empower your business analysis and intelligence, instead of just knowing raw distance.
SELECT * FROM cdb_isochrone('POINT(-3.70568 40.42028)'::geometry, 'walk', ARRAY[300,900]::integer[], ARRAY['quality=3']::text[]);SELECT * FROM cdb_isodistance('POINT(-3.70568 40.42028)'::geometry, 'car', ARRAY[1000]::integer[], ARRAY['mode_traffic=enabled','quality=3']::text[]);Learn how to use our Isolines
View tutorials, find tips & tricks, and reference the FAQs to learn more about the Data Services API.
-
Ease-of-Use
Calculating an area of influence based on distance for example will be a matter of seconds and as simple as an SQL statement.
-
Fully Integrated
Distance Isolines can be fully integrated in 3rd party applications as part of the publicly available Data Services API.
Location Intelligence
Discover the dimensions behind your data to uncover hidden patterns
The world's most valuable data made available for discovery and enrichment. Location Intelligence services provide you metrics about populations at specific locations, as well as business, housing, and transportation data.
