}About the baxtel.com API
The Baxtel API provides 3 endpoints for querying a global database of data center facilities. Use search_data_centers to find colocation sites by name, city, or company, get_data_center_details to pull full specifications including metrics, coordinates, and document links for a specific slug, and list_all_ids to enumerate every public site ID in the database.
Search and Discovery
The search_data_centers endpoint accepts a query string (company name, city, or site name) and an optional page integer for pagination. Each result in the results array includes a slug, name, address, and url. Results are filtered to the Site type, so the response stays focused on physical facilities rather than company-level listings.
Facility Details
Pass a slug from search results to get_data_center_details to retrieve the full record for a single facility. The response includes a metrics object containing key-value specification pairs such as Short Code, Year Built, and Ownership type. A breadcrumbs array provides the location hierarchy (e.g. country → state → city), and a documents array lists associated files with title and url. Geographic coordinates are returned as a two-element array [longitude, latitude] when the site exposes them, or null when they do not.
Full ID Enumeration
The list_all_ids endpoint takes no inputs and returns every public id in the Baxtel database along with a total count. These alphanumeric IDs are useful for bulk workflows where you need to track or cross-reference sites, though this endpoint does not return slugs or coordinates directly — use search_data_centers or get_data_center_details for those fields.
Coverage Notes
Baxtel's database skews toward colocation and enterprise data centers with public profiles. Metrics depth varies by facility; some sites carry rich specifications while others list only a name and address. Coordinates may be null for sites that do not publish location data.
- Build a searchable colocation facility directory using name, address, and URL fields from search results
- Map data center locations by extracting coordinates from get_data_center_details responses
- Track Year Built and Ownership metrics to filter facilities by age or operator type
- Enumerate the full Baxtel database with list_all_ids for bulk ingestion into an internal asset registry
- Cross-reference facility breadcrumbs to group data centers by country, state, or city hierarchy
- Aggregate associated documents from a facility record to surface certifications and compliance filings
- Monitor specific data center slugs for specification changes using scheduled detail lookups

Does Baxtel have an official developer API?+
What does get_data_center_details return beyond basic address information?+
metrics object with key-value pairs such as Short Code, Year Built, and Ownership; a breadcrumbs array showing the location hierarchy; a documents array with titled file links; and a coordinates array of [longitude, latitude] when available. The depth of the metrics object varies by facility.Does list_all_ids include slugs or coordinates?+
list_all_ids returns only alphanumeric public IDs and a total count. To get slugs, use search_data_centers; to get coordinates, call get_data_center_details with a slug. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to return additional fields alongside the IDs if your workflow requires them.Can I filter search results by country, region, or facility type?+
search_data_centers endpoint accepts a single query string and a page number. There are no dedicated filter parameters for country, region, or facility type. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add structured filter inputs for those dimensions.Are coordinates always available in facility detail records?+
coordinates field in get_data_center_details is null for facilities that do not expose location data on Baxtel. When present, coordinates are returned as a two-element array in [longitude, latitude] order.
