Fuel Prices Scraper

Fuel Prices Scraper returns pump prices from the official open data of France, Spain and Italy, one row per station and fuel: address, postcode, coordinates, brand (Spain and Italy), a fuel type shared by all three countries, the price per litre or kilogram, when the station last reported it, and the source and licence. Pick a country, type a city such as Paris or a postcode, and click Start. Italy publishes once a day, so its prices are the ones in force at 8:00 the day before. It costs $0.80 per 1,000 fuel prices on the Free plan ($0.40 on Business), and the $5 of monthly credit in Apify's Free plan covers about 6,200 fuel prices.

What data does it return?

Field	Description
country, stationId	ISO country code (FR, ES or IT) and the station's ID in the national source, such as 10943.
brand	Brand on the station sign in Spain (CEPSA, BALLENOIL) or the fuel brand in Italy (Agip Eni, Q8; Pompe Bianche marks an unbranded station). France publishes no brand, so it is always null there.
address, postcode, city	As the source writes them, often in capitals. Italian postcodes are read from the end of the address and are missing for about 5% of stations.
region	French department code from the postcode (75, 2A), Spanish province name (MADRID) or Italian province code (RM).
latitude, longitude	Station coordinates in decimal degrees, such as 40.432861.
distanceKm	Distance from the centre of a radius search in kilometres, null without one.
roadType	motorway or road in France and Italy, null in Spain.
fuelType	One name for the same fuel in every country: petrol_95, petrol_95_e10, petrol_98 (98 octane or more), petrol_premium, diesel, diesel_premium, diesel_agricultural, hvo, biodiesel, e85, lpg, cng, lng, hydrogen, adblue or other.
fuelName	The fuel exactly as the source names it, such as Gazole, Gasoleo A or Blue Diesel.
serviceMode	Italy only: self for self-service or served for an attended pump. They are separate prices, so they are separate rows.
price, currency, unit	Price including taxes in EUR per L, or per kg for CNG, LNG and hydrogen.
updatedAt	When the station last reported the price, ISO 8601 with the local offset, such as 2026-10-11T08:50:09+02:00. Spain gives no time per price, so its rows carry the time of the ministry's extract.
openingHours	Spain only, as the ministry writes them, such as L-D: 24H for every day around the clock.
rank, area	Lowest-priced output only: position from 1 and the place the ranking is for.
changeType, previousPrice, priceChange, previousUpdatedAt	Changes output only: new, up or down, the price in the last run, the difference and when the old price was reported.
priceId	Key of the price that stays the same between runs, such as ES-10943-Gasoleo A.
source, licence, sourceUpdatedAt, sourceUrl	Publisher, licence, date of the source file and the file the price was read from. Keep them when you publish the data.
scrapedAt	When the row was produced, ISO 8601 in UTC.

How to scrape fuel prices

1. In Countries, pick France, Spain, Italy or several of them. Left empty, all three are read.
2. Narrow the area in Cities or postcodes: a city as the source writes it (Paris, Madrid, Roma, or English names such as Rome and Seville), a postcode such as 75015, or its first digits for a whole French department or Spanish province, such as 28 for Madrid. For a radius search, fill Latitude, Longitude and Radius (km) instead.
3. Pick Fuel types and, for Spain and Italy, Brands.
4. Choose the Output: every matching price, the lowest-priced stations per place and fuel, or only the prices that changed since the last run.
5. Set Maximum prices and click Start. The rows appear in the Output tab, where you can download them as CSV, Excel or JSON. The SUMMARY record shows for each country how many stations and prices the file held, how many matched and the date of the file.

Over the API, an input for the three lowest diesel and petrol prices in Madrid and Rome looks like this:

{
  "countries": ["ES", "IT"],
  "locations": ["Madrid", "Rome"],
  "fuelTypes": ["diesel", "petrol_95"],
  "mode": "lowest",
  "stationsPerArea": 3
}

How much does it cost to scrape fuel prices?

	Free plan	Starter	Scale	Business
1,000 fuel prices	$0.80	$0.64	$0.52	$0.40

You pay only for the events in the table. There is no start fee, and compute time and proxies are included.

Diesel and E10 prices in Paris came to 71 rows on 11 October 2026, which costs $0.0568 on the Free plan. Every price in France that day was 30,728 rows: $24.5824 on the Free plan or $12.2912 on Business. Prices outside your filters and prices unchanged since the last run in changes output are not charged.

Limits

• Coverage on 11 October 2026: 9,228 French stations with prices, 11,515 Spanish stations including the Balearic and Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, and 21,687 Italian stations, together 166,734 prices.
• Freshness depends on the country. The French file is refreshed about every 10 minutes and the Spanish one every half hour. Italy publishes one file a day with the prices in force at 8:00 the day before.
• Stations report their own prices and some stop. In France 25% of prices were older than 7 days and 3.3% older than 30 days on 11 October 2026, in Italy 2.6% and 0.7%. Skip prices older than (days) leaves them out.
• Prices are returned as the station entered them, including a few typing errors such as 0.100 EUR per litre in Italy. The lowest-priced output skips prices below half the median of their place and fuel when at least 5 stations compete.
• France publishes no brand and no station name. Italian station names and operators are left out because many of them are the name of the person who runs the station, and no source gives phone numbers or emails.
• A postcode is matched in every selected country, so 75 also matches Italian postcodes that start with 75 when Italy is selected. Pick the country to avoid that.
• Each run downloads the whole file of each selected country, one request per country and two for Italy: 0.9 MB for France, 11.7 MB for Spain and 7.2 MB for Italy. A Paris run took 3 seconds and all three countries about 45 seconds.
• If a source refuses access or answers with a bot protection page, the actor sends it no further requests, returns the other countries and names the failure in the status message and SUMMARY. A run where no source answers fails and charges nothing.

Sources and licences

Country	Publisher	Licence	What the licence asks
France	Ministère de l'Économie et des Finances, prix-carburants.gouv.fr	Licence Ouverte / Open Licence 2.0 (Etalab)	Name the source and the date of its last update. Commercial reuse is allowed.
Spain	Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico, Geoportal Gasolineras	Reuse conditions of Spanish Law 37/2007	Cite the source and the date of the last update, do not alter or distort the content, do not suggest the ministry endorses your use.
Italy	Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy (MIMIT), Osservatorio prezzi carburanti	Italian Open Data License 2.0	Credit the source. Commercial reuse is allowed.

Every row carries source, licence and sourceUpdatedAt, so the credit travels with the data. The price and the fuel name stay exactly as published; fuelType is added next to them. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the three ministries.

Tracking price changes

Set Output to only the prices that changed, give a Watch name or save the input as a task, and schedule it. The first run returns every matching price as new and saves a snapshot. Each later run compares with the snapshot and returns the prices that went up or down, with previousPrice and priceChange, and prices that were not there before. On 11 October 2026 a watch on Paris and Madrid compared 1,071 prices: a run three minutes after the first returned none, and a run half an hour later returned 40 (37 up, 3 down). Prices cut off by Maximum prices wait for the next run, and the CHANGES record counts new, higher, lower and unchanged prices and lists prices that disappeared, for example when a station stops selling a fuel. Italian prices change once a day, so a watch on Italy needs one run a day.

FAQ

Is it legal to use these fuel prices?

The data are open data files that the French, Spanish and Italian governments publish for reuse, under the licences in the table above, and all three allow commercial use with credit to the source. The actor downloads those published files and returns station addresses and prices, with no names of station operators and no contact details. You are responsible for following the licence terms when you publish or resell the data.

Why are Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom not covered?

German prices are public through the Tankerkönig API, which needs a personal key and does not allow bulk downloads. Austria's E-Control publishes no licence that allows reuse of its fuel price data. The UK Fuel Finder files answered with HTTP 403 to the cloud servers this actor runs on in October 2026.

Why does an Italian station have two prices for the same fuel?

Italian stations post one price for self-service and another for the attended pump, a median of 20 cents apart in October 2026. Both come as rows with serviceMode set to self or served. The lowest-priced output keeps only the lower of the two for each station.

Can I get the history of prices?

Each run returns the current files. To build a history, schedule the actor and keep each run's dataset, or use the changes output to store only what moved.
