Italy Fuel Prices API – Diesel & Petrol Prices by Station (Official MIMIT Data)

Italy fuel prices API for fleets: today's official diesel, petrol (benzina), LPG, CNG and LNG price per station in Italy, filtered by radius, city or province and sorted cheapest first. Useful for fleet fuel cost checks, transport quotes and fuel budgets.

Data source	MIMIT Osservaprezzi carburanti open data (Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy)
Licence	IODL 2.0 – attribution included in every row
Update frequency	The ministry publishes one file per day (prices as reported by stations up to the previous day)
Coverage	Italy only (~23,000 stations). No other countries.
Cost example	20 stations + area summary = $0.005 + 20 × $0.0001 + $0.01 = $0.017 per run

What it can do: official station prices, cheapest-first ranking, area min/median/max summary, daily monitoring of named stations. What it can't do: real-time (intra-day) prices, price forecasts, countries other than Italy, fuel-card or discounted prices. Prices are what stations reported to the ministry; a station can be late in reporting.

Input → output (shortened):

{ "latitude": 44.4949, "longitude": 11.3426, "radiusKm": 15, "fuelTypes": ["diesel"], "maxResults": 20, "includeSummary": true }

→ one row per station: rank, brand, address, city, distanceKm, selectedFuelPrice (EUR/L), selectedFuelUpdatedAt, prices, dataSource, dataLicense.

---

For transport companies, fleet managers and anyone who budgets fuel costs in Italy: get the official diesel, petrol, LPG, CNG and LNG prices of the stations in your area as one sorted table – cheapest first – instead of looking them up by hand.

The prices come from the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) – Osservaprezzi carburanti open data, the official register that Italian stations must report their prices to. No scraping of private websites, no API key, no login.

Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government, ministry or fuel brand. Data is re-published under the IODL 2.0 open-data licence (see Data source & licence).

Which manual task does it replace?

Without this Actor, getting today's diesel prices for an area usually means one of two manual routines:

1. searching station by station on the ministry's consumer site (Osservaprezzi carburanti) and copying prices into a spreadsheet, or
2. downloading the ministry's two raw CSV files (station register + prices, ~23,000 stations), joining them by station ID, mapping the fuel names (“Gasolio”, “Blue Diesel”, “Hi-Q Diesel” …), filtering to your province or radius and sorting.

This Actor does steps 1–2 in one run and returns a ready table (JSON, CSV or Excel) with the price, the date the station last changed it, and the source attribution.

Who saves what: a fleet or transport office that checks Italian diesel prices for its depots or routes no longer has to search the ministry site or join two CSV files by hand – it schedules one run and opens the sorted table. (Our estimate, based only on the steps removed above: roughly 10–20 minutes per manual check of one area. Not measured with customers – your time will depend on how you work today.)

Who is it for?

• Road haulage, couriers and logistics companies – see the cheapest diesel around each depot or along a route before drivers fill up.
• Fleet managers (company cars, vans, service vehicles) – check whether fuel-card prices are in line with the local market, using the official median of the area as a reference.
• Anyone who calculates fuel costs – transport quotes, mileage reimbursements, trip budgets or cost models that need a current, citable price per litre for a province.
• Fuel retailers – monitor the official prices of named competitor stations every day (stationIds).
• Developers and AI agents (Apify API / MCP) – “cheapest diesel within 15 km of these coordinates” in one call.

What it does

• ⬇️ downloads the two official Italian CSV files for you (station register + prices),
• 🔗 joins them and normalises the fuel names to one set of codes (diesel, diesel_premium, hvo, gasoline_95, lpg, cng, lng …),
• 📍 filters by radius around coordinates (km), city, province, brand, motorway / non-motorway, or exact station IDs,
• 💶 ranks stations cheapest-first (or nearest-first),
• 🧾 outputs one row per station with every price, the date it was last updated, unit (EUR/L or EUR/kg) and the self-service flag,
• 📊 optionally builds a price summary for your area (min / p10 / median / mean / p90 / max per fuel) – handy as a reference price in cost calculations.

Example usage

1. Daily diesel check around a depot (fleet / logistics)

Cheapest diesel within 15 km of a depot near Bologna, motorway stations excluded, with an area summary:

{ "countries": ["IT"], "latitude": 44.4949, "longitude": 11.3426, "radiusKm": 15, "fuelTypes": ["diesel"], "excludeMotorway": true, "maxResults": 20, "includeSummary": true }

Save it as a Task, add a Schedule (e.g. once every morning – the ministry publishes one file per day) and send the dataset to e-mail, Google Sheets or your own system via Apify integrations.

2. Reference price for a fuel-cost calculation

Median and range of diesel prices in the province of Milan, to use as the price per litre in a quote or budget:

{ "countries": ["IT"], "provinces": ["MI"], "fuelTypes": ["diesel"], "maxResults": 1, "includeSummary": true }

The SUMMARY record in the key-value store contains min / p10 / median / mean / p90 / max for the whole province; maxResults: 1 keeps the station list (and cost) small.

3. Cheapest diesel in the province of Rome

{ "countries": ["IT"], "provinces": ["RM"], "fuelTypes": ["diesel"], "maxResults": 20 }

4. LPG in Milan, no motorway stations

{ "countries": ["IT"], "cities": ["Milano"], "fuelTypes": ["lpg"], "excludeMotorway": true, "maxResults": 20 }

5. Monitor specific stations every day

Use stationKey values from a previous run:

{ "countries": ["IT"], "stationIds": ["IT:59989", "IT:15617"] }

6. Whole-country snapshot (~23,000 stations – mind the cost)

{ "countries": ["IT"], "maxResults": 0 }

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing – you pay only for what you get, platform usage is included:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.005 per run (default 1 GB memory = one start event)
Station with prices (primary)	$0.0001 per station ($0.10 per 1,000 stations)
Price summary report (optional)	$0.01 per run, only if includeSummary is on

Examples: the 20 cheapest stations in a province ≈ $0.007; a daily top-50 for one city ≈ $0.30 per month; a full snapshot of Italy (~23,000 stations) ≈ $2.31. Use Max stations and Apify's Maximum cost per run to cap spending – the Actor stops cleanly when your limit is reached.

Data source & licence

Country	Official source	Update frequency	Licence
🇮🇹 Italy	Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy (MIMIT) – Osservaprezzi carburanti open data	daily (prices in force at 08:00 the previous day)	IODL 2.0

Every item carries dataSource, dataLicense, dataSourceUrl and sourceUpdatedAt so you can meet the attribution requirement (“cite the source and the date of last update”) when you re-use the data, e.g. in a quote or report. Prices are not altered – only re-formatted.

Privacy by design

The output contains no personal data. Operator/manager names published in the Italian registry and free-text station names (which can contain a sole trader's name) are never read into the output; a brand is shown only when it is a chain sign used by several stations, otherwise Independent.

Limitations

• Country: Italy only at the moment. The code also contains a reader for Spain's official feed (Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica, CC BY 4.0), but that government server does not answer requests from Apify's cloud (last checked 2026-10-09), so Spain is not offered. Other countries are added only when their government publishes an open feed that permits automated re-use and it works from Apify.
• Daily snapshot, not real time: Italian prices are those in force at 08:00 the previous day, as published by the ministry.
• No postcodes in the Italian registry – use coordinates, cities or provinces.
• Prices are what stations report to the ministry. Typos or late reports at the source are reproduced as-is.
• No price history is stored by the Actor – schedule runs and keep the datasets to build history.
• If the ministry server is down, the run fails and no stations are charged (only the $0.005 start event).

FAQ

Is this legal? Where does the data come from? Yes. The Italian ministry publishes these prices as official open data for re-use, including commercial re-use, under IODL 2.0. The Actor downloads the official files once per run – it does not scrape consumer websites or apps.

Why is my result empty? Usually the filters exclude everything: coordinates outside Italy, a radius too small, or a province written as a name instead of the 2-letter code ("MI", not "Milano"). The run log tells you what was skipped and why.

One station is much cheaper than all the others – is that real? Possibly not. Stations type their own prices into the ministry system and occasional typos happen. The Actor never changes official values; compare with the SUMMARY median or check updatedAt.

What does Independent mean? The station's sign is not a chain brand (fewer than 3 stations nationally), or it is unbranded (“Pompe Bianche”). One-off names are hidden because they can be a person's name.

How fresh are the prices? Daily. prices.<fuel>.updatedAt is the last change reported by the station and sourceUpdatedAt is the feed time. An old updatedAt does not mean the price is wrong – stations only report changes.

Are prices per litre? Yes, EUR per litre, except CNG and LNG, which are EUR per kg (unit field).

Can I get only self-service prices? The cheapest price per fuel is returned and selfService tells you whether it is a self-service price.

How do I monitor my competitors or my usual stations every day? Run once with coordinates around your depot or station, copy the stationKey values you care about into stationIds, save as a Task and add a Schedule. Each run creates a new dataset.

Is Spain or another country supported? Not at the moment (see Limitations). Feel free to request a country in the Issues tab.

Can I use it from an AI agent / MCP client or via API? Yes – every Apify Actor can be called through the Apify API, the official JavaScript/Python clients and the Apify MCP server.

I found a wrong price. Prices are reproduced exactly as published by the ministry. Please report errors at the source; if you believe the Actor transformed something incorrectly, open an Issue with the stationKey and your run ID.
