class evalml.pipelines.components.CatBoostClassifier(n_estimators=1000, eta=0.03, max_depth=6, bootstrap_type=None, random_state=0, **kwargs)

CatBoost Classifier, a classifier that uses gradient-boosting on decision trees. CatBoost is an open-source library and natively supports categorical features.
