Italy Fuel Prices — MIMIT Open Data, Normalized

What does Italy Fuel Prices do?

This Actor fetches Italy's official daily fuel price open data published by MIMIT (Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy), joins the price list with the ~24,000-station registry, and normalizes the ~60 messy brand-specific fuel labels ("Blue Diesel", "V-Power Diesel", "HVOlution", "Gasolio Artico Igloo"...) into 6 clean categories: benzina, gasolio, gpl, metano, hvo, altro. Filter the result by region, province or city and get a ready-to-use dataset — no CSV wrangling required.

Running on the Apify platform gives you API access, scheduling, webhooks and integrations (Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, LangChain) on top of a data source that's normally just two raw government CSV files.

Why use Italy Fuel Prices?

• Price comparison apps — power a "cheapest fuel near me" feature without building your own ETL pipeline.
• Market research — track average prices by region or fuel type over time (schedule a daily run).
• Fleet & logistics — find the cheapest diesel along a route by filtering province by province.
• AI agents — feed clean, typed JSON (not raw pipe-delimited CSV) to an LLM agent or dashboard.

Input

{
    "region": "Toscana",
    "fuelTypes": ["benzina", "gasolio"],

All filters are optional — leave everything empty to get the full national dataset (~90,000 price records across ~24,000 stations).

latitudine, longitudine	Coordinates for mapping
dataComunicazione	When the station last reported this price

How much does it cost to get Italian fuel prices?

Pricing is pay-per-event: a small fee per Actor start plus a fee per price record returned. You are only charged for unique records actually saved. Since this Actor only downloads two CSV files and processes them in memory (no per-page scraping), even a full national run without filters completes in seconds at very low cost.

Tips

• Leave filters empty and schedule a daily run to build your own historical price archive — MIMIT only publishes the current snapshot (8am the previous day), not history.
• Combine region + fuelTypes + selfService to keep runs small and fast for a specific use case (e.g. cheapest self-service diesel in Lombardia).
• fuelTypeRaw is always preserved even when fuelType is "altro" (unrecognized label), so you can inspect and handle edge cases yourself if needed.

FAQ & disclaimers

Is this data official? Yes — it's published directly by the Italian Ministry (MIMIT) as open data, updated daily. This Actor adds normalization and filtering on top; it does not alter the underlying prices.

Why is regione sometimes missing? A small number of source rows have a malformed province code (a MIMIT data quality issue, not this Actor's). Those stations get regione: null rather than a guessed value.
