What is the FuelRadar API?

The FuelRadar API exposes 4 endpoints covering fuel station search, station detail, national cheapest rankings, and price trend overviews across Australia. Using search_stations_by_location, you can query stations by latitude and longitude and get back current prices in cents per litre, distances, and brand information. The API tracks over thousands of stations nationally and surfaces per-state averages, 45-day daily trends, and historical pricing per station.

Try it
Latitude of the location to search near (e.g. -33.8688 for Sydney)
Longitude of the location to search near (e.g. 151.2093 for Sydney)
Fuel type slug to filter prices by.

Search for nearby fuel stations given latitude, longitude, and fuel type. Returns a list of stations with prices and distances from the search coordinates, sorted by distance ascending. Results come from the nearest known suburb to the provided coordinates; typically 15–20 stations within a ~20 km radius.

About the FuelRadar API

Station Search and Price Lookup

search_stations_by_location accepts lat, lng, and an optional fuel_type slug, returning an array of station objects sorted by distance ascending. Each object includes id, name, brand, price (in c/L), address, coordinates, and distance from the search point. Results are scoped to the nearest known suburb, typically yielding 15–20 stations per call. The fuel_type param lets you filter to a specific product — slugs are available from get_top_100_cheapest's fuelTypeList array.

Station Detail and Historical Prices

get_station_detail takes a station_id hash and returns a richer payload: brandName, full stationDetails (name, address field A, postcode P, Lat, Lng, suburb_name), and mainStationPrices — an array of current prices where each entry carries Name, LongName, Code, Price in tenths of a cent, an updated_by_FuelRadar timestamp, and 30-day stats in stats30d. The response also includes nearbyStationsData with a NearestStations array and historicalPriceData entries, though the historical array may be empty for newer or less-tracked stations.

National Rankings and Overview

get_top_100_cheapest returns the 100 cheapest Unleaded 91 stations across Australia ranked by price, with each entry carrying rank, id, name, address, brand, brand_logo, state, postcode, and price. It also provides brandList and fuelTypeList reference arrays useful for other endpoint calls. get_national_overview delivers state-level summaries (avg_price, delta vs national average, stations count, low price), a trends array of daily avg_price/min_price/max_price over ~45 days, per-fuelTypes averages, popularCities breakdowns, and a totalStations count.

Reliability & maintenanceVerified

The FuelRadar API is a managed, monitored endpoint for fuelradar.com.au — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when fuelradar.com.au changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.

This isn't an official fuelradar.com.au API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Maintenance
Monitored & self-healing
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
It's built not to. Every endpoint is health-checked on a schedule with automated test probes. When the source site changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified — that's the self-healing layer. Each API page shows when its endpoints were last verified. And because marketplace APIs are shared, any fix reaches everyone using it.
Is this an official API from the source site?+
No — Parse APIs are independent, managed REST wrappers over publicly available data. That is the point: where a site has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a maintained, monitored endpoint for that data and keeps it working as the site changes — so you get a stable contract over a source that never promised one.
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
Yes — and you don't have to wait on us. This API was generated by the Parse agent, which stays attached. Describe the change in plain English ("add an endpoint that returns reviews", "fix the price field") in the revise box on the API page or via the revise_api MCP tool, and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes. Contributing the change back to the public API is free.
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
Errors are machine-readable: a bad call returns a clean status with the list of available endpoints and a repair hint, so an agent (or you) can recover or trigger a fix instead of failing silently. Confirmed failures feed the automatic repair queue.
Common use cases
  • Build a fuel-price comparison app that shows the cheapest nearby stations for a chosen fuel type using search_stations_by_location.
  • Track daily national average fuel price movements using the trends array from get_national_overview.
  • Display state-by-state price differentials and which states are above or below the national average using the states array.
  • Surface the 100 cheapest Unleaded 91 stations nationally in a dashboard, ranked by price from get_top_100_cheapest.
  • Show 30-day price stats and historical trends for a specific station using get_station_detail's stats30d and historicalPriceData fields.
  • Populate fuel stop suggestions along a planned route by querying search_stations_by_location at intervals along the path.
  • Alert users when a tracked station's price drops, using the Price field from repeated get_station_detail calls.

Frequently asked questions
Does FuelRadar have an official developer API?+
FuelRadar does not publish a documented public developer API. This Parse API provides structured access to the same data available on fuelradar.com.au.
What fuel types can I filter by in `search_stations_by_location`?+
The fuel_type parameter accepts slug values. You can retrieve the full list of valid slugs from the fuelTypeList array returned by get_top_100_cheapest, which includes fuel type id (the slug) and name for each supported product.
How are prices represented across the endpoints — are the units consistent?+
Units differ between endpoints. search_stations_by_location and get_top_100_cheapest return price in cents per litre as a standard or string value. get_station_detail's mainStationPrices array returns Price in tenths of a cent, so divide by 10 to convert to c/L.
Does the API cover diesel, LPG, or EV charging data?+
The get_top_100_cheapest endpoint currently ranks only Unleaded 91 stations. search_stations_by_location accepts a fuel_type slug so you can query other fuel types where data exists, and get_national_overview includes per-fuel-type averages in fuelTypes. EV charging data is not currently exposed. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint targeting EV-specific station data if the source carries it.
How many stations does the API cover, and are all Australian states included?+
The totalStations field in get_national_overview reflects the live tracked count nationally. The states array includes entries for all Australian states and territories. Coverage density varies by state — regional or rural stations may have less frequent price updates, and historicalPriceData in get_station_detail may be empty for some stations.
