Overview
The NSW Government collects and publishes the standard retail prices of all prescribed fuels sold at over 2,500 service stations in NSW. The Fuel API has been developed as a means of accessing live fuel pricing across NSW service stations. V1 endpoints can be used for fetching NSW fuel price, V2 endpoints can be used for fetching NSW & Tasmania fuel prices combined.

Security and authentication
API NSW generates API keys for APIs and enables authentication to your APIs using policies.
Credential pairs consisting of consumer key and secret are provisioned to clients and stored for future validation. These are issued as per agreement
with API NSW.
An OAuth call is required to provide the consumer with an authorisation token that would last approximately 12 hours from the time when request was made.
User would need to send this authorisation token with every subsequent request in order to get appropriate results from the API.
For more information see OAuth 2.0
