Overview
Tankerkoenig provides real-time gas and diesel fuel prices from German petrol stations, updated every few minutes. An API key is required and can be obtained for free by registering with a German postal address. It is a great resource for building fuel price comparison tools or route cost calculators in Germany.
Beginner Tip
You must register with a German address to receive an API key. Once you have it, the /list.php endpoint lets you search stations by GPS coordinates and radius to get current prices.
