# What it collects

Facility records (kind: facility) via parser(s) cdc_campus_v1 in apps/worker/src/connectors/operators2/apac.ts.

Fields published by the pages and captured: one record per campus: name, city, countryIso2, totalPowerMw (operating) or plannedPowerMw (planned), status, building codes as aliases.

Every field carries an extraction method in methods (e.g. json-ld:PostalAddress, regex:it_mw_v1, attr:data-value+MW, lookup:city-country) for provenance. Coordinates are only taken from JSON-LD / embedded JSON / map links published by the operator — never geocoded. Status defaults to operational unless the page uses pipeline wording (under construction / coming soon / planned).

# Discovery

Sitemaps: auto (/sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml)
Seeds: /locations/auckland/, /locations/canberra/, /locations/melbourne/, /locations/sydney/, /locations/perth/, /locations/maddington/
Include: /locations/[a-z-]+/$, /news/.
Exclude: \?, #
Classify: /locations/[a-z-]+/$ → facility_pages (facility_page); /news/. → newsroom (press_release)

Newsroom URLs (when configured) rely on the GenericConnector news fallback (press_release → news_event when data-center relevant).

# Schedule & fetch

Schedule: facility_pages weekly, newsroom daily, sitemap weekly
Fetch: L1→L2, 15 rpm, concurrency 2, robots.txt respected, max 20 premium credits/run. All pages are served at L1 (plain HTTP); maxLevel is capped at 2 so false-positive “blocked” heuristics (HubSpot / cookie-consent strings) never spend Scrapfly credits.

# Quirks

City pages /locations// list campuses with 'Current capacity (operating) NN MW' or 'Total capacity NN MW' (under construction) → one campus-level record each. cdcdatacentres.com.au redirects here.

# Verification (live, 2026-09-11)

try-connector --limit N: discovered 6 URLs (facility_pages=6); sampled pages → 7 entities, 7 valid, 0 rejected, 0 premium credits.
