# What it collects

Facility records (kind: facility) via parser(s) ovhcloud_locations_v1, ovhcloud_facility_v1 in apps/worker/src/connectors/operators2/emea.ts.

Fields published by the pages and captured: name, city, countryIso2, lat/lng (approximate, from the operator's own map JSON), regionName (city pages), description. No MW (not published).

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.ovhcloud.com/en/www.ovhcloud.com_en_sitemap.xml
Seeds: /en/datacenter/
Include: /en/datacenter/
Exclude: \?, #
Classify: /en/datacenter/$ → facility_index (facility_index); /en/datacenter/[a-z-]+/[a-z-]+/[a-z-]+(/[a-z-]+)?/$ → 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_index weekly, facility_pages monthly, 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

Index page embeds a datacenters JSON map (city, country, lat/lng per datacenter location) → one record per location (geo precision approximate). Only depth-6 city pages (continent/country/region/city) are parsed for name/description/region; depth-5 pages are ambiguous (region vs city) and are skipped. OVHcloud does not publish per-site MW.

# Verification (live, 2026-09-11)

try-connector --limit N: discovered 67 URLs (facility_index=1, facility_pages=43, default=23); sampled pages → 16 entities, 16 valid, 0 rejected, 0 premium credits.
