Fuel stations near a point, nearest first, each with its current pump price for every fuel it sells. /v2/fuel answers from our own daily snapshot of fuel stations and their posted prices across Canada, served from our database rather than a live call to anyone's API. Every response carries asOf, the snapshot date it was built from. One credit a request.

Prices are as posted, in Canadian cents per litre: 158.9 is $1.589 a litre.

Stations near a point

radius_km defaults to 10 and caps at 100. limit defaults to 20 and caps at 100. Each station carries prices: its current price for each fuel it sells, by payment. fuel keeps only stations with a current price for that fuel.

Every station has a ref and an id. The ref is the station's location ref, poi:dpz9cxmmw0, the same one /v2/locations serves for the place. The id is the ref without poi:, and the tail of links.self. The ref is derived from where the station stands, so it does not change when its name or brand does.

One station

Name, brand, address, the fuels it sells, amenities (c_store, pay_at_pump, restrooms and more), openingHours, and its current prices. lastSeen is the newest daily snapshot the station was in. An id that is not a geohash is a 404.

What "current" means

A price is current when it is the newest one posted for that fuel and payment, and it was posted in the last 7 days. A station is listed when it appeared in one of the last 7 daily snapshots.

Both windows run on today's date, not on asOf. If a snapshot is ever late, prices age out rather than pass for today's. Each price carries its postedAt, so you can show "posted 3 hours ago" and decide for yourself how fresh is fresh enough.

reportedBy says who posted a price: owner is the station itself, member and visitor are drivers. Most stations post one price per fuel, paying by card (payment: "credit"). A few post a lower cash price as well.

One entry per day: the median, 10th and 90th percentile, and mean of the current card price across every station in the area that day, and how many stations that took. On 2026-10-25 the Ontario regular median was 168.9 ¢/L across 2,803 stations. area is one of:

An FSA with a handful of stations is a handful of prices. Read stations before you lean on a median.

Fuels

regular, midgrade, premium, diesel, e85, propane. Each price also carries fuelType, the same fuel-type ref a vehicle's spec sheet uses (fuel-type:gasoline, fuel-type:diesel), so a vehicle and the price of what it burns join without a lookup table. For what to build on that, see Build with locations.
