Italy Fuel Station Registry - MIMIT

Italy's active fuel-station registry from MIMIT's Osservaprezzi Carburanti as clean, per-station records - id, brand, type, name, address, municipality, province and coordinates. The operator field (often a person) is dropped.

What one record represents

The source is MIMIT (the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy), Osservaprezzi Carburanti, published as a daily open-data CSV at www.mimit.gov.it. Each record is one active fuel station: the station id, brand (Bandiera), station type, station name, street address, municipality, province and decimal coordinates.

Sample output

Real rows from a live run of this actor (first 5 rows, selected columns).

One full record from the same run, exactly as delivered:

Coverage and volume

The registry holds about 23,976 active stations - measured at build time from the downloaded CSV.

Sol's Wave-4 index put this door at 23,975 EXACT; measured live at build time the registry holds 23,976 active stations - the live figure is what this listing quotes.

The Actor downloads the daily CSV, skips its one-line extraction preamble, reads the header row and delivers each data row, stopping as soon as your Maximum records cap is met.

Licence and attribution

The data is released under the Italian Open Data Licence 2.0 (IODL 2.0). The full notice travels on every record:

Italian Open Data Licence 2.0 (IODL 2.0): free to consult, extract, download, copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the data, including for commercial purposes, provided the source is acknowledged (MIMIT - Osservaprezzi Carburanti).

Person-data policy

The source carries an operator field (Gestore) that is often a natural person or sole trader. This Actor structurally drops Gestore - it is never read or emitted - and a per-record assertion rejects any operator/person field (verified with a planted-field test). The brand and station name are business attributes; the address locates the station, not a person.

Interpretation caveat

One record per active Italian fuel station from the MIMIT daily registry: station id, brand, station type, station name, address, municipality, province and coordinates. The operator field (Gestore) is dropped.

Values are reproduced verbatim from the CSV; the Actor never rewrites a field. The two MIMIT cells share the station id (idImpianto), so you can join prices to stations and back.

Provenance and compliance

Every run reads the door host's robots.txt at runtime; the gate result (URL, status, byte length, SHA-256 of the policy) is written to the run's RUN_RECEIPT, and the data path is confirmed permitted before any fetch. The endpoint is keyless. The Actor never bypasses a block or fetches through a mirror.

Data quality and freshness

Boolean columns are delivered as real booleans and numeric columns as real numbers. Delivery is keyed on a stable composite id, so the dataset is safe to diff, deduplicate or upsert. Every run re-reads the live door, so the data is as fresh as the source publishes, and each record's observed_at stamp dates the snapshot. The run's RUN_RECEIPT records the source URL and how many records were delivered and charged, and confirms charge_equals_delivered.

Billing and delivery

Pricing is per record: you are billed only for records the Actor actually delivers, at a flat rate, with the charge raised after each record is pushed (push-then-charge), so a failed or empty run costs nothing. There is no subscription and no minimum. The Maximum records cap bounds every run, so you control the spend precisely - set it low to sample the shape of the data cheaply, then raise it once you have confirmed the cell fits your use. Because delivery is incremental and keyed on a stable id, re-running against the same door and upserting on that id keeps a downstream table current without re-paying for rows you already hold; only the new and changed records add cost. Every run's receipt reconciles delivered against charged, so the billing is auditable against the data you received.

Inputs

• Maximum records (maxRecords) - hard cap on records delivered and billed.

Output

Records land in the Actor's default dataset and export as JSON, CSV, Excel or via the Apify API. A tabular overview surfaces the leading fields.

Fields in detail

The record carries station_id, brand, station_type, station_name, address, municipality, province, latitude and longitude, keyed on the station id. The provenance block closes every record.

Typical uses

Station-roster and mapping teams use this cell as the located registry of Italian fuel stations - id, brand and coordinates - ready to map or to enrich a price feed. Because both MIMIT cells key on the station id, a single join gives you priced, located stations; a scheduled daily run keeps the pair current, and each record's observed_at stamp dates the snapshot.

The two-cell design

MIMIT publishes prices and the station roster as two separate daily extracts, and this fleet mirrors that: the price cell is a fast-moving observation feed (one row per station-fuel-time), and the station cell is a slow dimension table (one row per active station). Keeping them separate means the price feed stays lean and the station attributes are not repeated on every price row; the station id joins them whenever you need both. Run the price cell daily for the moving series and the station cell occasionally to refresh the roster.

Scaling and limits

Set Maximum records low to sample or high to pull the full extract. The Actor streams the CSV and delivers incrementally, so memory stays flat and you are billed only for what is delivered. Both extracts refresh daily, so a scheduled run keeps a downstream table current; each record's observed_at stamp dates the snapshot.

The dimension table

This cell is the slow-moving companion to the price feed: one row per active station rather than one row per price. That separation is deliberate. The station attributes - brand, type, name, address, municipality, province and coordinates - change rarely, so repeating them on every price observation would bloat the price feed for no gain. Keeping them here, keyed on the station id, means the price cell stays lean and this cell serves as the located roster you join to whenever you need a station's name, brand or position on a map.

Why Gestore is dropped

The source registry includes a Gestore (operator) column, which for the many independent and franchise stations in Italy is frequently a natural person or a sole trader's name rather than a company. Because that is personal data, this Actor never reads or emits it - it is not named in the field map, and a per-record assertion rejects it if the source schema ever changed. Everything the cell does deliver is a business or geographic attribute: the brand (Bandiera) is the fuel marque, the station name and address locate the site, and the coordinates put it on a map. The result is a clean, redistributable roster with no operator identity.

Mapping and enrichment

Because latitude and longitude are real numbers, the roster drops straight into a GIS or a map without geocoding, and the municipality/province fields let you aggregate to administrative areas. Joined to the price feed on the station id, it turns a stream of bare price observations into located, branded price points - the basis for a coverage map, a brand price comparison, or a catchment analysis. The registry refreshes daily, so an occasional scheduled run keeps the roster current as stations open or close.

Sibling Actors

It sits beside the fuel-price observation cell (same MIMIT index, the price fact table); the two join on the station id. It shares its CSV engineering with the fleet's other records Actors.
