Need to compare fuel prices scraper across targets? Thirdwatch's Fuel Prices Scraper turns it into structured rows — the fields you need, ready to export.

Skip the setup: Run this as a ready-to-go task on Apify — pre-loaded with the configuration from this guide.

Why Compare side by side works

Put the same fields side by side for every target — the deltas are where decisions happen. This guide shows the configuration that pulls fuel prices scraper data from Fuel Prices Scraper.

How does this compare to the alternatives?

Manual copy-paste works for a handful of rows; dedicated per-site scrapers on other platforms either gate the same data behind sign-in or charge flat monthly fees regardless of usage.

Why this Actor

  • Purpose-built for Fuel Prices Scraper — no generic crawling config to tune
  • Pay-per-result pricing — you pay only for rows that come back
  • Structured output ready for JSON/CSV export or API consumption
  • No login, cookies, or API keys needed for the public surfaces it reads

How to do it in 3 steps

Step 1: Configure the input

Set the inputs as shown below — states takes the targets, and the optional fields bound the run size.

Step 2: Run the Actor

Run it from the console, the API, or the linked saved task. One dataset row is written per record.

Step 3: Use the output

Every row carries the fields shown in the sample — export as JSON, CSV, or feed it straight into your pipeline.

{
  "location": "Berkeley, CA",
  "maxResults": 10
}

Each dataset row looks like:

{
  "region": "Current Avg.",
  "scope": "national",
  "date": "2026-09-20",
  "regular": 4.4761,
  "mid_grade": 4.968,
  "premium": 5.3588,
  "diesel": 6.505,
  "e85": 3.4738
}

What to watch for

Rate the targets reasonably — large batches benefit from modest concurrency. Source sites may throttle heavy bursts; retry once and widen filters if a target surface is thin.

Frequently asked questions

What does Fuel Prices Scraper return?

One dataset row per result — with the fields shown in the sample output. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

How do I control run size?

`states` selects the targets and the max/limit fields bound how many rows come back. Start small, then scale.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes — save it as a task and attach a schedule in Apify Console for daily/weekly pulls.

Is this data public?

The Actor collects publicly visible data only — the same information a logged-out visitor sees.

What formats can I export?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or direct API access to the dataset — plus webhooks and integrations.

What if a run returns fewer rows than expected?

The source limits some results; retry once, and widen the query or filters if the target surface is genuinely thin.
