## What is crawled
- `https://www.coresite.com/sitemap.xml` (single file, 763 URLs, HubSpot CMS) + RSS `/news/rss.xml`.
- Facility pages `/data-center/<code>-<city>-<st>` (29: AT1/AT2, BO1, CH1/CH2, DC1/DC2, DE1–DE3, LA1–LA3, MI1/MI2, NY1–NY3, OR1, RA1, SV1–SV9, VA1–VA3); metro pages `/data-center-locations/<metro>` → `index`; news `/news/<slug>` → GenericConnector news fallback.
- robots.txt disallows HubSpot preview/preference paths only.

## Access
Open site, L1 works (0 credits). `maxLevel: 4`, `maxCreditsPerRun: 40`.

## Fields (method)
- schema.org `DataCenter` JSON-LD on every facility page: `name` ("CoreSite VA3 Data Center"), `description`, `address` (PostalAddress → `address`, `city`, `regionName`, `postalCode`, `countryIso2`), `geo` (GeoCoordinates → `exact`). Fallback address line from the `<h3>` "12369 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, VA 20191".
- `code` ← URL (`va3` → VA3).
- Spec tabs (`<strong>LABEL</strong>` in one div, value in the next div): "SQUARE FOOTAGE 533,000+" → `buildingSqm` (49,517 m²); "CERTIFICATIONS SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, HIPAA" → `certifications`; "UTILITY PROVIDER Dominion Energy" → appended to `description`.
- `cloudProviders` ← the "cloud on-ramps" sentence (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud…); `ixps` ← named exchanges in the text (Any2Exchange, LINX NoVA, AMS-IX Chicago, DE-CIX…).
- No MW figures are published on the pages (the spec sheets are separate PDFs, not crawled) → null.
- Key `coresite:<CODE>`; `externalIds.coresite_code`.

## Verification (2026-09-11)
- Discovery: 116 URLs → `facility_pages=29`, `newsroom=76`, `index=11`.
- `--url` VA3: 12369 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, VA 20191, US, geo 38.9515/-77.3751, 49,517 m², 6 certifications, clouds AWS/Azure/Google/Oracle, IX Any2Exchange + LINX NoVA, utility Dominion Energy — matches the live page.
- `--url` CH1: 427 S LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL 60605, geo 41.876606/-87.631969, IX Any2Exchange / AMS-IX Chicago / DE-CIX.
- Sweep of 8 spread pages (AT2, NY3, AT1, MI1, CH1, DE2, VA1, OR1): 8/8 valid, all with address + square footage; 4/8 with JSON-LD coordinates (AT1/AT2/VA1/OR1 pages carry no `geo`). Newsroom sample 4/4 valid. Credits: 0.

## Gaps / TODO
- Coordinates only where the JSON-LD includes `geo` (about half the sites).
- MW per site not published on HTML pages.
