Overview

The Data Centers endpoint provides access to a curated database of data center projects across the United States. This dataset includes information about planned, operating, and cancelled data center facilities, with details on power capacity, land usage, capital expenditure, and geographic location. This is a “download link” style endpoint that returns all audit-approved records in a single response. There is no pagination - all approved data center records are returned at once.

Common Status Values

StatusDescription
PlannedProject is planned but not yet operational
OperatingData center is currently operational
CancelledProject has been cancelled or postponed

Geographic Coverage

Data centers are tracked across multiple states with the highest concentrations in:
  • Virginia (VA) - Northern Virginia data center corridor
  • Texas (TX) - Major metro areas including Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio
  • Georgia (GA) - Atlanta metro area
  • Arizona (AZ) - Phoenix metro area
  • California (CA) - Bay Area and Los Angeles
All records returned have been audit-approved by our data team to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Example Requests

curl -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here" \
  "https://api.cleanview.co/api/v1/data-centers"
Returns all audit-approved data center records in a single response.

Response Fields

Metadata Section

FieldTypeDescription
successbooleanIndicates if the request was successful
total_countnumberTotal number of data center records returned
generated_atstringISO 8601 timestamp when response was generated

Data Center Fields

FieldTypeDescription
project_namestringName of the data center project
developerstringDeveloper or operator of the data center
statusstringProject status (Planned, Operating, Cancelled, etc.)
operating_yearnumberYear the facility began or will begin operations (if known)
capacity_mwnumberPower capacity in megawatts (MW)
land_acresnumberLand area in acres
building_square_footagenumberBuilding area in square feet
cap_exnumberCapital expenditure (investment amount in USD)
countystringCounty where the data center is located
statestringTwo-letter state code where data center is located
latitudenumberLatitude coordinate of the facility
longitudenumberLongitude coordinate of the facility
source_1stringPrimary source URL for the data center information
source_2stringSecondary source URL (if available)
source_3stringTertiary source URL (if available)
Null Values: Many fields may contain null values when specific information is not available. This is particularly common for operating_year, capacity_mw, latitude, and longitude fields on newly announced projects.

Data Quality Notes

  • All returned records have audit_approved = true, indicating they have been reviewed and validated by our data team
  • Source URLs are provided for transparency and verification
  • Geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) are included when available and accurate
  • Capacity and financial data (capacity_mw, cap_ex) may be estimates based on public announcements
  • Some projects may have multiple source URLs for cross-verification
Large Response Size: This endpoint returns all approved records in a single response. The response size can be 500KB or more depending on the current dataset. Ensure your application can handle this payload size.

Use Cases

This endpoint is ideal for:
  • Market Analysis: Understanding data center development trends by region, developer, or capacity
  • Location Intelligence: Mapping data center locations and analyzing geographic clustering
  • Competitive Research: Tracking which developers are active in specific markets
  • Energy Planning: Analyzing power capacity requirements and grid impact
  • Real Estate Analysis: Understanding land and building size requirements for data center projects

Data Updates

The data center database is continuously updated as new projects are announced or existing projects reach new milestones. All updates go through an audit approval process before being exposed via the API.
