# What it collects

Facility records (kind: facility) via parser(s) macquarie_facility_v1 in apps/worker/src/connectors/operators2/apac.ts.

Fields published by the pages and captured: name, code, city, countryIso2, campusName, tier, certifications; IT load usually 'Undisclosed' → null.

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://www.macquariedatacentres.com/page-sitemap.xml
Include: /data-centres/(sydney|canberra)/ic\d/$
Exclude: \?, #
Classify: /data-centres/(sydney|canberra)/ic\d/$ → facility_pages (facility_page)

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

# Schedule & fetch

Schedule: facility_pages weekly, 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

Intellicentre pages /data-centres//ic/ publish code, campus, certifications; IT load is often 'Undisclosed' and then left null.

# Verification (live, 2026-09-11)
