Fuel Prices Lookup: France and Spain Petrol Stations

Look up real-time petrol station fuel prices across France and Spain from official government open-data APIs.

Search official live fuel price databases from the French Ministry of Economics (prix-des-carburants) and the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition (MINETUR / Geoportal Gasolineras). Retrieve current pump prices for diesel (gazole / gasóleo A), unleaded gasoline (SP95, SP98, E10, E5), E85, and LPG (GPL / GLP), along with station addresses, brands, operating hours, coordinates, and available services.

Who uses it

• Fleet managers & logistics operators: Monitor local fuel price variations and optimize refueling stops across cross-border transport routes in France and Spain.
• Price comparison apps & navigation developers: Power mobile apps, route planning engines, and connected dashboard displays with official real-time petrol station prices.
• Energy market researchers & analysts: Track retail fuel pricing dynamics, brand margins, and regional price dispersion without scraping or proxy costs.
• Automated home & business workflows: Feed daily local gas station prices into n8n, Make, or Google Sheets to trigger alerts when local fuel drops below a target threshold.

How to use

1. In the Apify Console. Open the actor page and click Start — the postcode field is already pre-filled with a working example. Results land in the run's dataset as soon as each item is found.
2. Via the API. Call it directly with a POST request — no Console needed once you have an API token:

   curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~fuel-prices-lookup/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
     -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"postcode":["75"]}'
   

3. On a schedule. Save this actor as an Apify Task with the input you want, then add a Schedule (hourly, daily, weekly) so it runs on its own — no server of your own required.

Input

{
  "postcode": [
    "75"
  ]
}

One postal code per line (e.g. '75001' for Paris 1er, '28001' for Madrid, or department/province codes '75' or '28'). Accepted formats: 75001, 28001, 05100, {"country":"fr","postcode":"75001","fuel":"gazole"}.

Accepted inputs:

• 5-digit French postal code: "75001", "05100", "69001"
• 2-digit French department: "75", "13", "69"
• 5-digit Spanish postal code: "28001", "08001", "41001"
• 2-digit Spanish province code or name: "28", "Madrid", "Barcelona"
• JSON query object: {"country": "es", "postcode": "28864", "fuel": "gazole"}

A postal code or search with no matching stations returns a row with "found": false and is never charged. Missing values are null (never 0 or empty string).

Pricing

• Station price returned: $1 per 1,000 station prices

Plus a $0.00005 start fee per run. Each event above is billed independently, only when it actually returns data — misses (found:false) are never charged.

Use it from Clay, n8n, Make, or an AI agent

This actor runs synchronously over plain HTTP — call it directly from a script, a workflow tool, or an AI agent, no Apify Console needed once you have an API token.

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~fuel-prices-lookup/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"postcode":["75"]}'

n8n. Add an HTTP Request node: Method POST, URL https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~fuel-prices-lookup/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>, Body Content Type JSON, JSON Body {"postcode":["75"]} (swap in an expression from an earlier node for a real value).

Clay. Add an "HTTP API" column: Method POST, URL https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~fuel-prices-lookup/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>, Body {"postcode":["{{postal code}}"]}, mapping the row's postal code into the postcode array.

MCP. In Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client with the Apify MCP server, ask for "Fuel Prices API: France & Spain Petrol Stations" — the agent will find and run this actor.

Limits

• Keyless official open-data APIs — no API key, authentication, or account required.
• Official coverage across France (all metropolitan departments) and Spain (all 52 provinces).
• Prices are snapshots updated by stations and government ministries multiple times per day.
• Returns up to 100 stations per postal code / query (default 20), in feed order, not sorted by price.
• France has no brand name in its feed: brand is the road type (Route or Autoroute). Spain gives the real brand. priceDieselPremium is Spain only.

Example runs

Paste any of these into the Input tab and press Start. No key, no token. Row counts were checked against the live sources on 2026-11-01.

Paris diesel prices (France). Department 75 matches every Paris postal code; the source held 47 stations that day, most with a diesel price.

{
  "postcode": ["75"],
  "country": "fr",
  "fuel": "gazole",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Barcelona province, all fuels (Spain). One row per station with every fuel price the station sells (the province feed has about 800 stations; the first maxItems in feed order are returned, not the cheapest).

{
  "postcode": ["08"],
  "country": "es",
  "fuel": "all",
  "maxItems": 20
}

E85 ethanol at Montgenevre (France). Postal code 05100 returns the one station there with its E85 price.
