# What it collects

Facility records (kind: facility) via parser(s) skybox_facility_v1 in apps/worker/src/connectors/operators2/americas.ts.

Fields published by the pages and captured: name, city, regionName, totalPowerMw (built sites) or plannedPowerMw (PowerCampus developments), buildingSqm, siteAreaHa, certifications (LEED), 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://www.skyboxdatacenters.com/sitemaps-1-section-locations-1-sitemap.xml, https://www.skyboxdatacenters.com/sitemaps-1-section-news-1-sitemap.xml
Include: /locations/[a-z0-9-]+$, /news/
Exclude: \?, #
Classify: /locations/[a-z0-9-]+$ → 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

Site pages /locations/ publish a stat header (MW, SF), JSON-LD description and design details; no street address on page.

# Verification (live, 2026-09-11)

try-connector --limit N: discovered 56 URLs (facility_pages=15, newsroom=41); sampled pages → 4 entities, 4 valid, 0 rejected, 0 premium credits.
