## What is crawled
- `www.vantage-dc.com` redirects to `vantage-dc.com`. Yoast sitemaps `/data_center-sitemap.xml` (82 URLs = 41 EN campus pages + `/fr/` mirrors) and `/news-sitemap.xml` (169); RSS `/feed/`.
- Campus pages `/data-center-locations/(north-america|emea|apac)/<slug>/` and the odd `/data-center/<slug>/`; region pages → `index`; `/fr/` excluded.
- News `/news/<slug>/` → GenericConnector news fallback.
- robots.txt disallows `/management/` only.

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

## Fields (method)
- `name` ← `<h1>` ("Ashburn (VA2) Data Center Campus"); `code` ← the code in parentheses (VA2, CA1, KIX1, JNB1…).
- Overview tiles `.ov-digit` + `.ov-label`: "96MW / of critical IT load" → `itCapacityMw`; "18 / acre campus" → `siteAreaHa`; "800K / square feet" or "335K / SF" → `buildingSqm`.
- `address`/`postalCode` ← `<h4>Campus Address</h4><p>…</p>` (`<br>` → ", "); "Undisclosed location." → null.
- `city`/`regionName`/`countryIso2` ← `.center-city-state` ("Sterling, VA") when it resolves to a state/country, else the parsed address (state or postal code found: "Mittenwalde", "Goodyear, AZ"), else the `<title>` ("London II, United Kingdom Data Center …" → London, GB; roman numerals stripped).
- `coolingType` / `renewableClaim` ← Cooling / Sustainability tabs (regex).
- `status` ← h1 + overview paragraph ("coming soon", "under construction"; London II → announced).
- **Coordinates deliberately not extracted.** The page has a stylised map marker (`.marker[data-lat][data-lng]`) but it is unreliable: Ashburn II shows 39.9995/-78.4393 (~90 km from the published Sterling, VA address) while Santa Clara I is correct. Rather than ship coordinates that are wrong half the time, geo is left null and ingest keeps city-level from other sources.
- Key `vantage:<CODE>` (slug when no code); `externalIds.vantage_slug`.

## Verification (2026-09-11)
- Discovery: 188 URLs → `facility_pages=41`, `newsroom=145`, index 2.
- `--url` Ashburn II: VA2, 22435 Glenn Drive, Sterling, VA 20164, US, 96 MW, 7.28 ha, 74,322 m², closed-loop chilled water — matches the live page.
- `--url` Santa Clara I: CA1, 2820 Northwestern Parkway, Santa Clara, CA 95051, US, 77 MW, 8.5 ha, 31,123 m².
- Sweep of 8 spread pages (VA2, KIX1, JNB1, LHR2, AZ1, JNB2, BER2, OH1): 8/8 valid, all with country, all with IT MW. Newsroom sample 4/4 valid. Credits: 0.

## Gaps / TODO
- Geo intentionally null (see above); revisit if Vantage publishes reliable coordinates (e.g. in the data-sheet PDFs, not crawled).
