FuelPrice Australia has signed up as a data publisher to participate in Queensland’s first fuel price reporting trial!

We’re awaiting acceptance of our application, API documentation and access keys before we can dive in and see what’s possible before the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy flick the switch next month. 🙂

We’re a go! The Queensland Government’s fuel price reporting trial is live and FuelPrice Australia is onboard!

We have integrated with Fuel Prices Queensland’s Data Publisher API to help Queensland motorists find the cheapest fuel prices in their area and support our goal of informing motorists as fuel prices approach the low of their local pricing cycles.

Work on the FuelPrice Australia site will continue during the week to refresh current fuel prices in Queensland on at least an hourly basis, this functionality will be announced as it happens.

Nice one Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy!
