## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### What does Spritpreisrechner.at Scraper do?

**Spritpreisrechner.at Scraper** extracts **live Austrian fuel prices** from [Spritpreisrechner.at](https://www.spritpreisrechner.at/) — the official E-Control price comparison portal for gas stations across Austria. Provide coordinates and a fuel type (diesel, super petrol, or CNG) and export structured station data — **name, address, price, distance, and opening status** — without writing any code.

Run it on the **Apify platform** to schedule crawls, export JSON/CSV/Excel, monitor failures, and integrate results via API.

### Why scrape Spritpreisrechner.at?

- **Price monitoring** — Track diesel, super petrol, and CNG prices near any Austrian city or address.
- **Route planning** — Find the cheapest stations along a commute or delivery route.
- **Market research** — Compare fuel prices across regions and station brands over time.
- **Fleet management** — Feed live price data into cost dashboards and fuel-card tools.
- **Data pipelines** — Automate Austrian fuel price collection for analytics and alerts.

### How to use Spritpreisrechner.at Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add a **Spritpreisrechner.at** URL under **Start URLs** (the homepage works).

4. Choose **Fuel type**: DIE (diesel), SUP (super petrol), or GAS (CNG).
5. Set **Maximum items** (stations per start URL).
6. Run the Actor and download results from the **Dataset** tab.

### Input

Spritpreisrechner.at Scraper accepts **Start URLs**, **maxItems** (per start URL), **latitude/longitude**, **fuelType**, **includeClosed**, and an optional **proxy configuration**. See the **Input** tab in Apify Console for details.

Supported start URLs:

- Homepage: `https://www.spritpreisrechner.at/`

### Output

Each result is a structured gas station object. You can download the dataset in **JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML**.

### How much does it cost to scrape Spritpreisrechner.at?

This Actor uses a lightweight **HTTP crawler (no browser)** and **no proxy by default**, keeping compute usage low. A typical test run with a handful of stations per URL usually finishes in under a minute on the Apify free tier. Larger crawls scale with the number of stations requested.

### Tips and advanced options

- Change **latitude/longitude** to search near Graz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, or any Austrian address.
- Set **includeClosed** to `false` to skip stations that are currently closed.
- Add multiple start URLs to run several location queries in a single Actor run.
- Increase **maxItems** to collect more nearby stations (results are sorted by distance).
