Getting started

Connect ToolRouter and open Fuel Prices, Finance Data or Energy Data. Fuel and energy-market lookups use hosted access or limited demo access. Energy Data’s US electricity lookup accepts your EIA key or uses one supplied by the service.

Cost

Finance Data’s energy-market action and Energy Data’s electricity lookup are listed as free. Check Fuel Prices for its action prices. EIA provides free key registration with request limits.

Coverage and things to know
  • US fuel results are weekly regional averages, not prices at individual petrol stations. Only selected regions and products are supported.
  • Energy series have different reporting periods and units. Electricity averages are monthly and are not a household tariff quote.
  • Fuel Prices and Finance Data currently use hosted EIA access rather than saved personal keys. Demo access can be rate-limited.
  • Country comparisons use an approximate currency conversion. Some energy categories may return missing fields; check the original EIA series before using the figures.
