# Macquarie Data Centres (`macquarie`)

- **Domain**: `www.macquariedatacentres.com` · **Kind**: operator · **Priority**: 2 · **Enabled**: yes

## 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/<city>/ic<N>/ publish code, campus, certifications; IT load is often 'Undisclosed' and then left null.

## Verification (live, 2026-09-11)

`try-connector --limit N`: discovered 2 URLs (facility_pages=2); sampled pages → 2 entities, 2 valid, 0 rejected, 0 premium credits.
