Fuel Prices API — France, Spain, Italy & Western Australia (official data)

Official Fuel Prices returns current petrol (gasoline), diesel, LPG, CNG and hydrogen prices for ~46,000 fuel stations in France, Spain, Italy and Western Australia, taken directly from each government's open data, in one consistent JSON schema. Find the cheapest or nearest stations around coordinates, by postal code, city or brand — from the Apify Console, the REST API, Python/JavaScript, or any MCP-compatible AI agent.

No key for the government sources, no scraping of private sites, and every row carries its official source and licence.

Country	Stations	Freshness	Official source
🇫🇷 France	~9,800	every ~10 min	Ministère de l'Économie (DGCCRF)
🇪🇸 Spain	~11,500	every ~30 min	Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica
🇮🇹 Italy	~23,900	daily snapshot (08:00 prices)	Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy (MIMIT)
🇦🇺 Western Australia	~1,000	one fixed price per day	FuelWatch, Government of WA

Quick answers

• Is there a fuel prices API for Europe? Yes — this Actor serves France, Spain and Italy (plus Western Australia) through one API, normalized to the same fields.
• How do I get the cheapest fuel near a location? Send latitude, longitude, radiusKm and fuelTypes; results come sorted cheapest-first with distanceKm on each row.
• Can an AI agent use it? Yes, as a tool through the Apify MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients).
• What does it cost? $0.005 per run + $0.0005 per price row. "Cheapest 10 stations near me" ≈ $0.01.
• Where does the data come from? Only official government open-data feeds, reused under their licences (see Data sources).

What you can do

• Find the cheapest station near a point — radius search, sorted by price or distance.
• Monitor prices in an area — schedule runs hourly or daily and send results to Google Sheets, a webhook, S3 or your database through Apify integrations.
• Compare brands or competitors — filter by brand around your own stations.
• Build apps and dashboards — one integration instead of four different government formats.
• Give an AI assistant real fuel prices — "Where is the cheapest diesel within 5 km of these coordinates?"

Coverage by country

France fuel prices (prix des carburants)

Gazole (diesel), SP95, SP95-E10, SP98, E85 and GPLc (LPG) for ~9,800 stations, updated about every 10 minutes from the DGCCRF instant feed. Each price has its own update timestamp. The French feed does not publish station names or brands.

Spain fuel prices (precio de la gasolina y el gasóleo)

Gasolina 95/98 (E5 and E10), Gasóleo A and Premium, GLP, GNC/GNL, hydrogen and renewable diesel for ~11,500 stations, refreshed about every 30 minutes by the Ministry. Includes brand (Rótulo) and a flag for members-only stations.

Italy fuel prices (prezzi carburanti)

Benzina, Gasolio, GPL, Metano, GNL and branded premium fuels for ~23,900 stations, from MIMIT's daily open-data snapshot (prices in force at 08:00 the previous day). Self-service and attended prices are separate rows (serviceType).

Western Australia fuel prices

Unleaded 91, Premium 95, 98 RON, Diesel, Brand diesel, LPG and E85 for ~1,000 FuelWatch stations. WA prices are fixed for the whole day from 06:00 AWST.

Quick start inputs

Cheapest diesel within 10 km of Madrid (top 20):

{ "latitude": 40.4168, "longitude": -3.7038, "radiusKm": 10, "fuelTypes": ["diesel"], "maxResults": 20 }

The country is detected from the coordinates, so only the Spanish feed is downloaded.

Paris, all fuels, prices updated in the last 24 h:

{ "countries": ["FR"], "postalCodes": ["75"], "maxPriceAgeHours": 24 }

Nearest stations in central Milan:

{ "latitude": 45.4642, "longitude": 9.19, "radiusKm": 3, "sortBy": "distance", "maxResults": 50 }

Competitor watch — Repsol and Cepsa stations in Málaga, unleaded 95:

{ "countries": ["ES"], "cities": ["Málaga"], "brands": ["repsol", "cepsa"], "fuelTypes": ["gasoline_95"] }

Perth, unleaded 91:

{ "latitude": -31.9523, "longitude": 115.8613, "radiusKm": 15, "fuelTypes": ["gasoline_91"] }

Use it from the API

You need an Apify account and API token (Console → Settings → API & Integrations). The synchronous endpoint runs the Actor and returns the rows in one HTTP call.

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sste~official-fuel-prices/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"latitude":48.8566,"longitude":2.3522,"radiusKm":3,"fuelTypes":["diesel"],"maxResults":10}'

Python (pip install apify-client)

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("sste/official-fuel-prices").call(run_input={

Use it from AI agents (MCP)

Add the Actor as a tool through the hosted Apify MCP server:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=sste/official-fuel-prices

Claude Desktop, Cursor or VS Code configuration (OAuth sign-in opens on first use):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fuel-prices": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=sste/official-fuel-prices" }
  }
}

Local alternative: npx @apify/actors-mcp-server --tools sste/official-fuel-prices (with APIFY_TOKEN set). More: MCP page for this Actor.

Example prompts an agent can answer with this tool:

• "Find the 5 cheapest diesel stations within 5 km of 48.8566, 2.3522."
• "What does unleaded 95 cost near the centre of Valencia today?"
• "List the nearest LPG stations to Perth CBD with their prices."

Tips for agents: always pass fuelTypes and a small maxResults (the price is per row); pass coordinates rather than place names (there is no geocoding); prices are in the local currency and unit given by currency and unit.

Input

Field	Type	Description
countries	array	FR, ES, IT, AU-WA. Empty → auto-detected from the location, or all sources if no location.
fuelTypes	array	Normalized fuel types (see table below). Empty → all.
latitude, longitude	number	Search centre (WGS84).
radiusKm	number	0.1–500, default 10. Adds distanceKm to each row.
postalCodes	array	Prefix match ("75", "28001"). FR and ES only.
cities	array	Exact city/suburb name, case- and accent-insensitive.
brands	array	Brand contains any of these words. Not available for FR.
maxPriceAgeHours	integer	Drop prices older than this.
excludeRestricted	boolean	Drop Spanish members-only stations (cooperatives, fleets).
sortBy	string	price (default, cheapest first within each fuel/currency), distance, none.
maxResults	integer	1–200,000, default 1,000. When sorting by price across several fuels, the limit is shared fairly so every fuel keeps its cheapest stations.

Invalid input fails immediately with a clear message (nothing is charged per row). If one government feed is temporarily unavailable, the run still returns the other countries and lists the failure in the SUMMARY record.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.005 per run + $0.50 per 1,000 price rows ($0.0005 per row). The run fee is charged once per GB of memory; the default 512 MB is enough for every query.

Typical run	Rows	Cost
Cheapest 10 stations near a point	10	≈ $0.01
A city, one fuel	~200	≈ $0.10
All of Spain, all fuels	~40,000	≈ $20

Use maxResults and filters to pay only for what you need. You can also set a maximum charge per run; the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these agencies. Prices are as published by the official sources; always confirm at the pump.

Limitations

• France and Spain do not publish station names; France does not publish brands.
• Italy publishes a daily snapshot (prices in force at 08:00 the previous day), not real-time prices.
• Western Australia publishes one fixed price per day; stations outside the FuelWatch area are not required to report.
• Distances are straight-line (haversine), not driving distance. There is no address geocoding: provide coordinates.
• Austria, Germany, Portugal and the UK are not included yet.

FAQ

Is this scraping? No. The Actor downloads only the files and feeds the governments publish for reuse.

Do I need an API key for the government data? No. You only need an Apify account to run the Actor (via Console, API or MCP).

How fresh is the data? Each run downloads the latest official feed. priceUpdatedAt tells you when the price was last reported (FR/IT per price, ES per feed, WA per day).

Why are some French prices old? Some stations report rarely. Use maxPriceAgeHours to filter them out.

Can I get prices in miles per gallon or USD? No — prices are returned exactly as published: EUR (or AUD) per litre, or per kg for CNG, LNG and hydrogen.

Do you cover the US or Canada? No — this Actor only uses official government open data, and only for the four regions above.

I need another country. Open an issue on the Issues tab with the country and, ideally, a link to its official open-data feed.
