Fuel Price Scraper

Fuel Price Scraper at a glance

Fuel Price Scraper is a ready-to-run Apify actor from abotapi for collecting automation data. Its documented output includes station id, station name, brand, suburb (flat) and u91, which you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel or read through the Apify API. It costs $2.40 per 1,000 results on the Apify Free plan and from $1.80 on paid plans, with smaller per-run or optional feature charges listed on Apify.

Inputs: 22 options

Scrape current petrol and fuel prices across Australia and New Zealand. Search by address or GPS coordinates to find nearby fuel stations, compare prices and collect station locations and fuel price data.

What Fuel Price Scraper can do

Two ways to search. Type a suburb, city, postcode, or address into Suburb or City, or clear that field and use raw Latitude and Longitude for an exact center point instead. Suburb takes precedence when both are set.
Offline AU/NZ geocoding. Suburb and postcode lookups resolve against local Australian and New Zealand postcode datasets, not a third party geocoding call.
Price analytics built in. Every run adds a min/max/average/count price summary per fuel type, plus an optional cheapest station lookup for one fuel type.
Full price detail per station. Every fuel type a station reports comes with its price, who reported it, and when it last changed, not just one headline number.
Built for schedules. Incremental mode tracks a search over time and returns only the stations that are new or have actually changed, so a recurring monitor doesn't pay again for prices that haven't moved.
Clear status, no billed error rows. A network or source problem ends the run with a plain status message and zero dataset rows, never a billable placeholder record.

Supported input fields
Input	What it controls
`suburb`string	Suburb or city name to search (e.g., 'Sydney', 'Melbourne', 'Auckland', 'Wellington'). You can also use postcode (e.g., '2000', '3168').
`lat`number	Latitude coordinate (optional - use instead of suburb). Clear Suburb, or leave it at its default, to search by coordinates.
`lng`number	Longitude coordinate (use with latitude)
`latitude`number	Alias of Latitude, for callers that use the longer field names. Used only when Latitude is empty.
`longitude`number	Alias of Longitude. Used only when Longitude is empty.
`searchMode`string	'Location' searches by suburb or coordinates above. 'Start URLs' searches the map URLs listed below instead (map location or latlng URLs of the source site). Choices: location, startUrls
`startUrls`array	Map URLs, either a location page (https://petrolspy.com.au/map/location/au/nsw/2000/sydney) or a coordinate page (https://petrolspy.com.au/map/latlng/-33.8688/151.2093). Only used when Search mode is Start URLs.

More input fields
Input	What it controls
`radiusKm`number	Search radius in kilometers from the center point (1 to 50). A very large area is fetched in parts automatically.
`fuelType`string	Optional. Does not remove any station: it picks which fuel the 'cheapest' highlight in the OUTPUT record is computed for, and which fuel 'Sort by: price' uses (default U91). Leave empty for all fuels. Choices: , U91, E10, U95, U98, Diesel, LPG
`brands`array	Only return stations of these brands (case-insensitive exact match on the brand, e.g. BP, Shell, Caltex). Empty returns all brands.
`sortBy`string	Order of the returned stations. 'price' sorts by the Fuel Type filter (U91 when empty), stations without that price go last. 'distance' is from the search centre. Empty keeps the source order. Choices: , price, distance, name
`sortOrder`string	Ascending or descending. Only used with Sort by. Choices: asc, desc
`maxItems`integer	Maximum number of stations returned across the whole run, applied after brands and sorting. 0 uses the largest allowed value (100000).
`resumeFromRunId`string	Paste a previous run ID or dataset ID to seed Incremental mode's baseline from it, so stations already in that dataset don't look NEW again on this actor's first incremental run. This actor's search is a single request with no pagination, so there is nothing to resume mid-crawl, this field only has an effect together with Incremental mode below, and only when that state key has no saved baseline yet.
`incrementalMode`boolean	Turn this on for daily or recurring monitoring of the same search. The first run returns all matching stations as NEW. Later runs normally return only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED stations, a station whose prices and details are unchanged since the last run is not returned (and not billed). Turn on "Emit unchanged" or "Emit expired" only when you also want those stations returned. State is kept separately per suburb/coordinates, radius, and fuel type filter; use State key to name or deliberately share a monitoring campaign. Compared fields: every output field of a station, including each fuel price and its price timestamp (prices..price, prices..updatedAt), name, brand, location, hours and flags; a field flipping to or from empty is not counted. Excluded: nothing by default; add your own with Ignore fields when detecting changes. To bootstrap the very first baseline from an existing run instead of starting fresh, use Resume from a previous run above.
`stateKey`string	Optional. Name this monitoring campaign to keep its state stable, or to deliberately share state across differently-configured runs. Leave empty to let the actor derive a key automatically from the suburb/coordinates, radius, and fuel type, different searches then never mix state with each other.
`emitUnchanged`boolean	Off by default. Turn on to also return stations that have not changed since the last run, marked UNCHANGED. This returns, and bills, extra rows you already have, so leave it off unless you specifically want the full snapshot every run.
`emitExpired`boolean	Off by default. Turn on to also return stations that were present in a previous run but are no longer found in the search area, marked EXPIRED. This returns, and bills, extra synthetic rows, so leave it off unless you need expiry tracking.
`ignoreFieldsForChanges`array	Optional. Field names to leave out of UPDATED change detection (they are still returned in the output). Supports nested paths such as prices.U91.reportedBy, and as a wildcard key, e.g. prices..reportedBy. By default nothing is ignored: price, price timestamp, location, name, brand, hours and every other field count as a change.
`mcpConnectors`array	Optionally send the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations, then select it here. The connector receives a condensed, human-readable summary per item (title + key fields), not the full JSON, the complete record stays in the dataset. Leave empty to skip. Supported: Notion (https://mcp.notion.com/mcp), Linear (https://mcp.linear.app/sse), Airtable (https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp), Apify (https://mcp.apify.com).
`notionParentPageUrl`string	URL (or id) of the Notion page under which item pages are created. Required to enable the Notion export; ignored by other connectors.
`maxNotifyListings`integer	Cap on items written to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset.

Questions about this actor

What data does Fuel Price Scraper return?

The documented output for Fuel Price Scraper includes station id, station name, brand, suburb (flat), u91, diesel, distance (km) and map link. Availability of each field depends on the source page and the selected mode.

How much does Fuel Price Scraper cost?

It costs $2.40 per 1,000 results on the Apify Free plan and from $1.80 on paid plans, with smaller per-run or optional feature charges listed on Apify. The Apify listing shows the current rate for every plan.

Why does my search return nothing, or the wrong area?

The most common cause is the suburb or postcode text not matching the local AU/NZ postcode dataset closely enough (for example a full street address with no recognizable suburb). Try a plain suburb name or postcode, or switch to lat/lng coordinates for an exact center point. resumeFromRunId is unrelated to this: it only seeds Incremental mode's very first baseline, and does nothing on its own without incrementalMode turned on.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push results into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
