# Kao Data (kaodata)

  • Domain: www.kaodata.com · Kind: operator · Priority: 2 · Enabled: yes

# What it collects

Facility records (kind: facility) via parser(s) kaodata_facility_v1 in apps/worker/src/connectors/operators2/emea.ts.

Fields published by the pages and captured: campus record (address, postalCode, plannedPowerMw full-build, siteAreaHa, buildingSqm, renewableClaim, certifications) plus one record per building (code, itCapacityMw, status).

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: https://kaodata.com/wp-sitemap-posts-page-1.xml, https://kaodata.com/wp-sitemap-posts-news-1.xml
  • 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

Campus pages /locations// publish the campus address, full-build IT load, acreage and a list of buildings 'KLON-01 (8.8MW Operational)' → campus record + one record per building with its own MW and lifecycle status. Cookie-consent scripts trip the blocked heuristic → maxLevel 2.

# Verification (live, 2026-09-11)

try-connector --limit N: discovered 112 URLs (facility_pages=4, newsroom=108); sampled pages → 11 entities, 11 valid, 0 rejected, 0 premium credits.
