GasBuddy Scraping as a Managed Service

  1. You send

    GasBuddy pages, filters, fields and a schedule

  2. We run the scrapers

    Built, monitored and repaired by our team

  3. You receive the data

    API, JSON feed or CSV, XLSX and JSON files

You choose the area - a list of cities, whole states and provinces, or the stations around your own sites - the fuel grades and the cadence. We map those choices onto GasBuddy's location pages, build the crawler, run it and fix it when the site changes. The site screens visitors with a browser check, so rendering, pacing, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA handling come with the service.

You can take a single extract or a daily, weekly or on-demand schedule; every delivery carries station id, grade, price, unit and report time. A free project assessment comes first, and a sample of your area can be ordered before the regular schedule starts.

GasBuddy Data We Extract per Station

A GasBuddy scraper works from the station. Each one has a numeric id in its address, /station/ followed by the number, which stays fixed while its prices change. We deliver one row per station and fuel grade, and the price never travels without the moment it was reported, because GasBuddy prices are reported - mostly by members, also by station owners and retailers - rather than read from the pump.

  • Stationstation id, name and brand (CITGO, Shell, Circle K, Costco, Sam's Club, Buc-ee's and the rest), street address, city, state or province, phone and opening hours such as Open 24 Hours.
  • Fuel pricesRegular, Midgrade, Premium and Diesel, plus E85 and UNL88 where a station sells them, each price with its unit.
  • Report timehow long ago each grade was reported, converted to a timestamp at collection, and whether the report came from a member or from the station Owner; member usernames are not delivered.
  • Cash price flagthe CASH label GasBuddy puts on a cash price, and the Offers Cash Discount amenity.
  • Amenitiesthe Features & Amenities list: C-Store, Pay At Pump, Restrooms, Air Pump, Car Wash, ATM, Propane, Restaurant, Loyalty Discount, Membership Required and Membership Pricing.
  • Ratings and reviewsoverall rating, review count, review text and date, without reviewer names.
  • Contextthe breadcrumb from state to city, and the nearby stations GasBuddy lists with their distance - miles in the US, kilometres in Canada.

Every field is described in the documentation that comes with the first delivery.

GasBuddy Data We Extract per Station
GasBuddy Price History, Charts and State Averages

GasBuddy Price History, Charts and State Averages

GasBuddy shows only the latest report for each grade, so history has to be built. Repeated runs over the same stations store every new price with its report time, and after a few weeks the file holds a GasBuddy price history per station and grade - moves a single snapshot cannot show, such as how fast one brand follows a rival across the road.

Coverage starts from the location pages. Each state or province has a page of its cheapest stations, and state pages add a list of major areas; each city page ranks the top ten stations for the chosen grade and links to the towns around it. Those lists seed the crawl, and the station pages fill in the rest.

The aggregate layer sits on top. The by-state page lists the average regular price for every state plus Washington DC, to three decimals, and the Gas Price Charts compare up to three areas - USA Average, Canada Average, a state, province or metro - over spans from one month to ten years, with an option to show crude oil prices alongside. We collect these series as published, so station prices can be read against the regional price trends.

GasBuddy is a crowd-sourced fuel price service for the United States and Canada, run by GasBuddy LLC from Dallas, Texas. Its prices come mostly from drivers who report what the pump shows, with station owners and retailers adding their own. Anyone can look them up without an account, but reporting needs a login, and the station page says so next to the prices. Freshness is therefore a property of each price, not of the site: one grade at a station may be minutes old while the diesel price beside it dates from the day before.

The site is organised by geography. Gas Price Search runs from state or province to city, then to station, and the breadcrumb on each station page follows that path. US prices are in dollars per gallon, Canadian prices in cents per litre. Station pages show a price for each grade the station sells, the overall rating, amenities, member reviews and a list of stations near that location. City and state pages rank the cheapest gas stations for each grade, E85 and UNL88 included. Above the station level, GasBuddy publishes state averages and a historical price chart for areas across both countries.

Why Buy a GasBuddy Dataset

What GasBuddy adds over published averages is the single station: a price, the time it was reported and the exact location. Typical uses tie straight to those fields:

  • Fuel retail pricingOperators price each site against the stations around it, using the nearby-stations list and its distances, and see which competitor moves first.
  • Fleet and logistics budgetsDiesel prices by state and corridor go into route costing, and station-level figures show what drivers should have paid.
  • Market analysisRegional price trends, the spread between regular and premium, and where cash discounts appear show how local markets behave between official statistics.
  • Site selectionBrands, ratings and amenities such as C-Store, Car Wash or Restaurant across a city help judge a location before investing in it.
  • Loyalty and membership schemesStations marked Loyalty Discount or Membership Pricing show where clubs and fuel discounts shape the local price.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a managed data extraction service. We build and maintain the crawlers, deal with the anti-bot layer and hand over the results, so your team works with fuel prices rather than with scrapers. For GasBuddy we deliver station-by-grade tables as CSV, Excel, JSON or JSONLines, by SFTP, Amazon S3 or e-mail, or through our own API. Usernames stay out by default, and any personal data is handled under GDPR. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

FAQ

Still unsure? Write to info@scrapeit.io

Do you offer a GasBuddy API for station prices?

Yes. The ScrapeIt GasBuddy API serves station id, brand, address, price per grade, price unit and report time as JSON from an endpoint we host, updated on your schedule. The same tables come as CSV or XLSX files or a JSON feed, and an MCP server is available on request.

Is it legal to scrape GasBuddy?

Yes. Station prices, amenities, ratings and the state and city lists are shown to every visitor without an account. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on GasBuddy - and we collect it legally, leaving reporter usernames and reviewer names out.

How often are GasBuddy prices updated, and how often should you collect them?

A price changes whenever someone reports a new one, so each grade carries its own age - minutes at busy stations, far longer at quiet ones. For price tracking we usually collect daily or more often in the areas you watch, and we keep the reported time with every price.

Can you get GasBuddy historical data?

Partly from the site and partly by building it. The Gas Price Charts publish average series for the USA, Canada, states, provinces and metro areas, which we collect as they stand. Station-level history starts the day collection starts, because each run stores the new reports; older station prices GasBuddy no longer shows cannot be recovered.

Can you scrape GasBuddy prices by state and for Canada?

Yes. Every US state, Washington DC and each Canadian province has its own page, and we can cover all of them or only a list of cities. Canadian rows keep prices in cents per litre and US rows in dollars per gallon, with a unit column so the two never mix.
