Geocoding Addresses in CARTO Workflows

Converts street addresses or place names into geographic coordinates (point geometries). This is an essential first step when working with tabular data that has an address column but no spatial column.

Prerequisites: Load carto-create-workflow for the development process, JSON structure, and validation commands.

Instructions

A geocoding workflow follows this pipeline:

Source Table (with address column) -> Geocode -> (Filter successful) -> Save

Step 1: Load Source Data

Use native.gettablebyname. The input table must contain a column with address strings (e.g. address, full_address, location).
