You can augment the CARTOframes library by using the CARTO Data Observatory, an online data service from CARTO. It provides three things—out-of-the-box location data, access to a catalog of analyzed data methods, and the opportunity to build location intelligence apps on top of fast APIs. This data service was created with the idea in mind that data available on the web has to be searchable, and therefore labeled well. To be able to find this data, provide a context to your data, and use it for spatial analysis is what is possible with this service.

The CARTO Data Observatory is available for CARTO enterprise users, which requires a paid subscription. In this chapter, we won't cover this option, but we mention it here as to give you an idea of what is possible with the CARTOframes library.
