European Data Centers Scraper 🇪🇺🖥️

Get a clean, structured dataset of data center and colocation facilities across Europe — with coordinates, operator, address, contact details and the full set of OpenStreetMap attributes for each facility.

Built on open OpenStreetMap data, it covers ~44 European countries and returns one clean, ready-to-use record per facility — perfect for mapping, market research, lead lists, or analysis.

What you get

• ✅ Whole of Europe in a single run, or just the countries you choose.
• ✅ Map-ready coordinates for every facility.
• ✅ Name, operator, full address, website, phone, email wherever available.
• ✅ Extra details where mapped: power, capacity, building type, year opened, and more.
• ✅ Clean, consistent, spreadsheet-friendly records — same columns every time.

How to use it

Just two simple settings:

• Countries — leave empty to get all of Europe, or pick one or more specific countries from the list.
• Max results — choose how many data centers to return: 10, 100, 1,000, or All results.

Example (Germany, Netherlands and France, up to 1,000 results):

{
  "countries": ["DE", "NL", "FR"],
  "maxResults": "1000"
}

Leave both at their defaults to get up to 1,000 data centers from across all of Europe.

Output

Each dataset item is a single data-center facility. A well-tagged facility looks like this:

{
  "source": "openstreetmap",
  "osm_type": "way",
  "osm_id": 142366497,
  "osm_url": "https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/142366497",
  "name": "CE Colo",
  "operator": "CE Colo Czech s.r.o.",
  "category": "telecom=data_center",
  "latitude": 50.06015,
  "longitude": 14.4829496,
  "country": "CZ",
  "city": "Praha 10",
  "street": "Nad Elektrárnou",
  "housenumber": "1428/47",
  "postcode": "10600",
  "full_address": "Nad Elektrárnou 1428/47, 10600 Praha 10",
  "website": "https://www.cecolo.com/",
  "phone": "+420 255 790 300",
  "email": "info@cecolo.com",
  "building": "commercial",
  "start_date": "2005-06-01",
  "all_tags": { "...": "complete raw OSM tags for this facility" }
}

A minimally-tagged facility carries the same fields, with the unmapped ones set to null:

{
  "source": "openstreetmap",
  "osm_type": "node",
  "osm_id": 987654321,
  "osm_url": "https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/987654321",
  "name": "MasterDC Praha",
  "operator": null,
  "category": "telecom=data_center",
  "latitude": 50.0696342,
  "longitude": 14.4638926,
  "country": "CZ",
  "city": null,
  "street": null,
  "housenumber": null,
  "postcode": null,
  "full_address": null,
  "website": "https://www.master.cz/",
  "phone": null,
  "email": null,
  "power": null,
  "building": null,
  "start_date": null,
  "all_tags": { "name": "MasterDC Praha", "telecom": "data_center", "website": "https://www.master.cz/" }
}

Field availability

Every record has the same, consistent set of fields (so every column always appears in the dataset table / CSV / Excel export):

• Always filled: source, osm_type, osm_id, osm_url, category, latitude, longitude, country, and all_tags. country is resolved from each facility's coordinates, so it is always present and accurate (not dependent on patchy OSM address tags).
• Optional: name, operator, city, street, housenumber, postcode, full_address, website, phone, email, brand, network, ref, power, generator_output, capacity, building, building_levels, height, start_date.

The optional fields are populated when OpenStreetMap has that data and set to null when it doesn't — they are always present as keys, so the schema never changes between records. How many are filled depends on how richly that specific facility is mapped: major hubs (Equinix, Digital Realty, CE Colo…) tend to include operator, address, contacts and more, while smaller sites may only have a name and coordinates. The all_tags object always contains the complete raw OpenStreetMap tag set for the facility, so no source attribute is ever lost.

Coverage & notes

• Coverage comes from OpenStreetMap. Major hubs (Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, London) are very well represented; coverage of smaller facilities varies by region.
• A full all-Europe run finishes in well under a minute.
