I'm trying to load the Sydney Fuel data ([https://www.fuelcheck.nsw.gov.au/app](https://www.fuelcheck.nsw.gov.au/app)) into Node-Red using the proposed API reuqtest (same comes from ChatGPT).

But somehow I'm missing something.

Has anybody had any luck with this ?

Hello!

You need to sign up to NSW gov and get a authorized API key to get access to their API

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I did try with a valid API-KEY, but it still fails

Did you have more luck with your key ?

I dont have a key, no need for NSW fuel prices in Western Australia mate

What does your debug say when you have the API key in?

I Found your problem

Try this  
[https://api.onegov.nsw.gov.au/FuelPriceCheck/v2/fuel/prices/nearest?latitude=-33.8731&longitude=151.2065&fueltype=U91](https://api.onegov.nsw.gov.au/FuelPriceCheck/v2/fuel/prices/nearest?latitude=-33.8731&longitude=151.2065&fueltype=U91)

WITH your API key in the header

Im getting a response from the api now  
"message": "Access token is not valid."

I finally got it sorted !! .. it does not work with simple API-Key approach, but you have to generate an access\_token first

You just have to update:

- YOUR\_API\_SECRET
- YOUR\_API\_KEY
- your location data in the PAYLOAD node
