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

## 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/<slug> 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.
