Google — gcp-regions, google-datacenters, google-news
gcp-regions (Google Cloud regions)
| Source | https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones (static docs table `Zones |
| Kind / mode | cloud_provider / html, implementation cloud_regions, parser cloud_gcp_regions_v1 |
| Fetch | L1 direct, 0 credits (cloud.google.com robots.txt allows /compute/docs) |
| Schedule | weekly |
| License / attribution | Provider documentation (Google developer docs are CC BY 4.0); facts only — "Google Cloud" |
| Verified live | 2026-09-11: 130 zones → 43 regions, 43 valid, 0 rejected |
Zones (europe-west1-b) are grouped on their prefix → region code; the zone count is availabilityZones
(us-central1 = 4, everything else 3); the Location column ("St. Ghislain, Belgium, Europe") gives city + country/state.
Spot checks: europe-west1 → St. Ghislain BE, 3 AZs; asia-east1 → Changhua County TW (precision approximate,
a county); northamerica-northeast1 → Montréal, Québec CA; us-east4 → Ashburn, Virginia US.
Gap. Only live regions appear in the docs table. Announced GCP regions are not published statically:
/about/locations is a JS shell over data.json (service × location, no geography, no "coming soon") — deliberately
not crawled. launchedOn is not published.
google-datacenters (Google-owned facilities)
| Source | https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/ — list embedded server-side in <div id="data-centers-data"> |
| Kind | cloud_provider, kind facility, parser cloud_google_datacenters_v1 (operator Google, hyperscale, isHyperscale) |
| Fetch | L1 direct, 0 credits (robots.txt: /about/datacenters allowed) |
| Verified live | 2026-09-11: 67 sites, 67 valid, 0 rejected (36 operational, 31 "in development" → announced) |
Each object: location ("Council Bluffs, Iowa"), inDevelopment, sometimes latitude/longitude, detailPage.
Status: Google's own "in development" label → announced (the page does not say whether construction started);
otherwise operational. Geo: curated city table for towns (46, precision city); counties / states use the curated
county marker or Google's own coordinates, flagged approximate (21). Same-name towns are guarded by the state
("Lebanon", "Columbus", "Douglas County" only resolve when the state matches). Detail pages 404 without the exact
path and are not fetched. Names are "Google data center"; keys google:dc:<slug>.
google-news (The Keyword)
Feeds blog.google/inside-google/infrastructure/rss/ (precise: "€13 billion investment in AI infrastructure in
Finland", Alabama/Virginia investments, energy deals) and blog.google/products/google-cloud/rss/ (filtered on
title/summary before fetch; consumer products excluded). Live 2026-09-11: 11/40 items matched, 5 entities incl. one
project candidate, 0 rejected, 0 credits. Daily.
