The CartoDB Platform
Many people come to CartoDB and see the Editor, our simple and easy to use tool that runs in your browser and helps you publish beautiful maps. Fewer of them discover the full range of capabilities CartoDB offers when you dig into SQL or the Platform capabilities. The CartoDB Platform is a collection of APIs that allow you to perform data manipulation, map creation, and data analysis all without ever touching the Editor.
