# ODATA (`odata`)

- **Domain**: `odatacolocation.com` · **Kind**: operator · **Priority**: 2 · **Enabled**: yes
- **License / attribution**: Publicly accessible operator pages; factual data only; © ODATA — attribution “ODATA”
- **Coverage**: BR, MX, CL, CO

## 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-<code>/ 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.
