# What it collects

Facility records (kind: facility) via parser(s) odata_facility_v1 in apps/worker/src/connectors/operators2/americas.ts.

Fields published by the pages and captured: name, code, city, countryIso2, lat/lng (exact, Google Maps link), itCapacityMw (IT power), buildingSqm (floor area), tier, certifications.

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://odatacolocation.com/data-center-sitemap.xml, https://odatacolocation.com/imprensa-sitemap.xml
Include: /en/blog/data-center/dc-[a-z]{2}\d{2}(-\d)?/$, /en/press, /en/news
Exclude: \?, #
Classify: /en/blog/data-center/dc-[a-z]{2}\d{2}(-\d)?/$ → facility_pages (facility_page); /en/(press|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

English facility pages /en/blog/data-center/dc-/ publish IT power (MW), floor area, Tier III and a Google Maps link with coordinates. Portuguese/Spanish duplicates are excluded. Country is only set when the page names it (BR/MX/CL/CO).

# Verification (live, 2026-09-11)

try-connector --limit N: discovered 12 URLs (facility_pages=12); sampled pages → 6 entities, 6 valid, 0 rejected, 0 premium credits.
