Why scrape FuelWatch?

Western Australia requires stations to lock in the next day’s prices. Typical jobs:

1. Tomorrow's fill-up — See mandated Perth prices before they go live
2. Fleet planning — Pick the cheapest depot suburb overnight
3. Statewide diesel — Snapshot truck diesel without clicking every town
4. 98 RON / E10 — Track premium and ethanol products separately
5. LPG maps — Find Autogas still listed on FuelWatch
6. Brand spreads — Compare Ampol, BP, Vibe, and independents
7. Journalism — Cite regulator-published prices instead of crowd reports
8. Alerting — Notify when tomorrow’s ULP drops below a threshold
9. Travel weekends — Check a holiday suburb before leaving Perth
10. Data pipelines — Automate WA fuel collection for dashboards
11. Compliance checks — Archive official boards for a given date
12. Regional vs metro — Run Perth plus an empty-suburb statewide slice

How much will it cost to scrape FuelWatch?

This Actor is pay per event. You pay a tiny start fee plus one charge per station pushed to the dataset. On the FREE plan that is $2.49 per 1,000 stations (about $0.0025 per station). GOLD and higher Store plans pay less per station. A five-station test run costs well under a dollar.

The crawler is HTTP-only (no browser) and uses no proxy by default, so compute stays low. Larger statewide snapshots scale with maxItems.

---

Tips and advanced options

• Leave Suburb empty and raise maxItems to capture a statewide product snapshot.
• Set day to tomorrow for WA's next-day mandated prices.
• Add multiple start URLs if you want several products in one run (set the product field once per run, or run separate tasks).
