Fuel Prices API: Cheapest Petrol & Diesel in France & Spain

Get the current fuel prices of every filling station in France and Spain, cheapest first, from the governments' own open data. Drivers, fleets and apps get petrol, diesel, E10 and LPG prices for their area in one format.

• ⛽ About 21,000 stations: about 9,800 in France and 11,400 in Spain.
• 🏛️ Official open data, no web scraping: France's prix-carburants.gouv.fr and Spain's Geoportal Gasolineras.
• 🏆 Cheapest first: sort by your fuel and keep the cheapest 10, 20 or 100.
• 📍 Your area only: a city, a postal code, or a point and a radius in km.
• 🔔 Price-change alerts: scheduled runs return only new stations and changed prices, with the old price.
• 💸 $0.50 per 1,000 stations. Stations outside your filters, and unchanged ones, are free.

Try it: the input comes pre-filled with an example. Click Start to get the 10 cheapest diesel stations in Paris and in Madrid, with their E10 and unleaded 95 prices. Then add your own cities.

• Fuel-card, navigation and car apps: add station prices for France and Spain through the Apify API, in one format.
• Analysts, journalists and researchers: follow fuel prices by city, region or brand, with history from scheduled runs.
• Station operators and retailers: watch competitors' prices around your stations and get told when they change.

How much does it cost?

You pay $0.50 per 1,000 stations delivered ($0.0005 each), plus Apify's standard run start fee.

Example	Stations	Cost
The pre-filled example: the 10 cheapest in Paris and in Madrid	20	$0.01
Any 1,000 stations	1,000	$0.50
Every French station with a price (a test run on 2 November 2026)	9,074	about $4.54

Free:

• stations outside your cities, postal codes or radius;
• stations selling none of your chosen fuels;
• stations beyond your "most stations per country" limit;
• with a monitor ID, stations whose prices haven't changed;
• countries whose source was blocked or failed.

Set a maximum cost per run in the run options. The run stops cleanly at that amount.

How to use it

1. Choose countries and your area: France, Spain or both. Add cities (Paris, A Coruña), postal codes (75015, or 75 for all of Paris), or a point and a radius in km.
2. Pick your fuels and the order: for example Diesel and Unleaded 95 E10, cheapest first. Optionally keep only the cheapest 20 per country.
3. For price alerts, add a Monitor ID and schedule the Actor, for example hourly. Keep Output only new stations and price changes on.
4. Click Start. The Stations table shows the address, brand, prices, distance and data date. Export it as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Leave fuels empty to get every fuel. A city also matches its districts: "Paris" includes "PARIS 13". With both cities and a point, a station is kept when it matches either.

About the fields

• Fuel types (fuel): diesel, e10, petrol_95 (E5), petrol_98, diesel_premium, petrol_95_premium, petrol_98_e10, e85, lpg, cng, lng, adblue, hydrogen, diesel_renewable (HVO), petrol_renewable, diesel_offroad (Spain's gasóleo B), biodiesel, bioethanol, biocng, biolng, methanol, ammonia. A fuel with no normalised type is other, with its own name in fuelName.
• price: in euros, per unit. Gases (CNG, LNG, hydrogen) are per kg; liquids, LPG and AdBlue per litre.
• updatedAt: France gives each price's own update time. Spain gives the time of its data file, refreshed every 30 minutes.
• city: France gives the town as each station wrote it (PARIS, Paris or PARIS 13); Spain gives the municipality, with the locality in details.
• region: France's département, worked out from the postal code; Spain's province as the source writes it.
• outOfStock (France): fuels the station has reported as temporarily unavailable, with the date. A station that has stopped selling a fuel for good doesn't list it.
• openingHours: France gives the counter's hours, e.g. Mon-Sat 07:00-19:30; Sun closed. The pumps may still take cards 24/7: see details.automate24h. Spain gives its own text, e.g. L-D: 06:00-22:00, with Spanish day letters: L = Monday, M = Tuesday, X = Wednesday, J = Thursday, V = Friday, S = Saturday, D = Sunday.
• isNew, previousSeenAt, previousPrice, change, changePercent: filled in with a monitor ID, null without one.

Run summary: the log shows each country's count and its cheapest station for your first fuel. The RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store lists, per country:

• the source's status (ok, blocked, busy, format changed or failed) and the reason;
• what was downloaded, and the data's date;
• stations read, matching your area, without your fuels, beyond your limit, unchanged and delivered;
• the cheapest station for each fuel in your area.

It also lists how many stations matched each of your locations.

Integrations

• Schedules: run it hourly or daily in Apify Console. With a monitor ID, each run returns only price changes.

• Apify API: start a run and get the stations back as JSON in one call:

  curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/subtleasianmerch~fuel-prices/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"countries": ["FR"], "locations": ["Lyon"], "fuels": ["diesel"], "maxStationsPerCountry": 5}'
  

  Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your Apify API token.

• Webhooks: call your own endpoint when a run finishes, for example to push price changes into your app.

• Make, Zapier and n8n: send new prices to Slack, email or a database with Apify's apps for these tools.

• Monitoring: Apify's monitoring can alert you when a scheduled run fails or returns fewer results than usual.

FAQ

Is it legal to use?

Both sources publish this data as open data. Their reuse terms, read on 31 October 2026, allow commercial reuse with credit:

• France: the Licence Ouverte 2.0 asks you to name the source and the date of the last update.
• Spain: the public-sector reuse rules (Ley 37/2007) ask you to cite the source and the update date, and not to change the data's meaning.

Every row carries a ready-made attribution line with the date; keep it when you publish the data. The rows describe businesses, not people. This isn't legal advice: check the licences against your own use.

Do I need any accounts or keys?

No. Both sources are open.

How fresh are the prices?

French prices come from a file the ministry refreshes every 10 minutes; Spanish prices from data refreshed every 30 minutes. Each run reads them live. dataUpdatedAt shows when the source produced its data.

Are the prices always right?

They are as reported. Stations report their own prices to the ministries, and a few may be out of date. Check updatedAt.

Why is the brand empty for French stations?

The French government's open data deliberately leaves out station names and brands. The address, postal code and position identify each station. Spain gives each station's sign, usually the brand.

Why didn't my Spanish town match?

Spanish names are matched against the official list of municipalities, for example "Madrid", "A Coruña", "Alicante" or "Alacant". A smaller place inside a municipality won't match by name: use its postal code, or a point with a radius.

How do I track prices over time?

Give the run a monitor ID and schedule it, for example every hour. With "Output only new stations and price changes" off, every run outputs every station, with changes marked, for a full history.

How does it read the data?

Politely. France publishes one file for the whole country (about 1.2 MB), downloaded once per run. Spain's service is read only for the municipalities or provinces you need, or as one full list (12 MB) for the whole country. Requests are paced, and the Actor says it's a bot.

What if a source is down or blocks the Actor?

If a source asks it to slow down, it waits and retries. If a source blocks it, that country stops, the other continues, and the run summary says so. If a source changes its format, the run fails loudly after delivering the other country, so you never get silently wrong prices.

Can I get other countries?

Not yet. Italy's official files couldn't be reached from Apify's servers when this Actor was built. Germany's data comes with terms that rule out this use, and Austria publishes prices only for the few cheapest stations near a point. The UK's Fuel Finder needs a registered account. Ask on the Issues tab if you need another country.
