Tools: New Uk Government Launches Fuel Forecourt Price API 2026

Use the Fuel Finder service to get the latest retail fuel prices and forecourt details across the UK.

Fuel Finder is a new government service that helps drivers find the cheapest fuel near them. It makes fuel prices available to third party apps and websites so motorists can compare prices easily.

Anyone can use this service to integrate the Fuel Finder data into their own tools and services. This includes:

If you just need fuel prices, you can find the information on participating third party apps and websites.

Prices are published within 30 minutes of any change.

Download a CSV file containing current prices and forecourt details (updated twice a day).

Use the public API by integrating the data into your own tools and services.

The API follows REST principles: resources have stable URLs and map to standard HTTP methods. You can read data by issuing simple GET requests to the relevant resource URL.

Access to API services requires authentication. The Fuel Finder API supports OAuth 2.0 (client credentials).

Contact the Fuel Finder Team if you have any problems with the Fuel Finder service.
