Why scrape PetrolSpy?

PetrolSpy is a public crowd-price map for AU and NZ metros. Typical jobs:

1. Cheapest U91 — Compare independents against the majors in Sydney or Melbourne
2. Fleet routing — Pull a metro snapshot before a delivery day
3. E10 vs U91 spreads — See where ethanol blend is actually cheaper
4. Diesel desks — Track truck and light-diesel prices around depots
5. NZ coverage — Run Auckland or Wellington alongside Australian cities
6. Brand research — Follow Ampol, BP, Caltex, and independents over time
7. Alerting — Feed U91 drops into Slack, email, or a sheet
8. Travel weekends — Scan a holiday-town radius before a road trip
9. Data pipelines — Automate collection from a public crowd-price network
10. Dashboards — Join prices with GPS for routing and cost models
11. State comparisons — Run NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, and SA maps in one Actor run
12. LPG maps — Filter stations that still publish LPG

How much will it cost to scrape PetrolSpy?

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. Wider radiuses scale with maxItems.

---

Tips and advanced options

• Raise radiusKm (up to 15 km) to capture more of a metro. Larger map boxes are rejected.
• maxItems is counted per start URL.
• Default run uses no Apify Proxy. Enable a proxy group only if you see timeouts.
