Retrieving Kwik Trip Gas Prices

Kwik Trip (a popular gas station in the MN-WI-IA area, if you’re not from the Midwest) has an API to display their fuel prices, among other things. Here’s a short Python program to retrieve pricing of nearby stores.

import requests

# Burnsville, MN
lat=44.767778
long=-93.2775

params = {
    'latitude': lat,
    'longitude': long,
    'limit': 20 # 1-255
}
stores = requests.get("https://api.kwiktrip.com/api/stores/nearby", params=params).json()["stores"]

for store in stores:
    has_gas = [p for p in store['properties'] if p['name'] == 'GAS'][0]
    if not has_gas:
        continue

    storedata = requests.get(f"https://api.kwiktrip.com/api/location/store/information/{store['id']}").json()

    unleaded_price = [p for p in storedata["fuel"] if p["type"] == "UNLEADED"][0]
    location_str = f'{store["address"]["city"].title()}, {store["address"]["state"]}'
    print(f'{store["id"]} ({location_str}): {unleaded_price["currentPrice"]}')

Sample output (as of date of publishing):

585 (Burnsville, MN): 3.099
695 (Apple Valley, MN): 2.999
309 (Burnsville, MN): 3.099
179 (Eagan, MN): 3.099
406 (Apple Valley, MN): 3.059
694 (Lakeville, MN): 3.049
663 (Savage, MN): 3.099
421 (Apple Valley, MN): 3.059
343 (Lakeville, MN): 3.059
397 (Apple Valley, MN): 3.059
447 (Shakopee, MN): 3.099
443 (Farmington, MN): 3.059
281 (Prior Lake, MN): 3.099
692 (Lakeville, MN): 3.099
697 (Rosemount, MN): 3.099
662 (Eagan, MN): 3.099
693 (Farmington, MN): 3.099
441 (Shakopee, MN): 3.049
492 (Chanhassen, MN): 3.099
178 (South St Paul, MN): 3.099

If you want pricing information on all Kwik Trip stores, it’s a bit more difficult, as the limit parameter on the /stores/nearby request is capped at a maximum of 255. In this case, a CSV of all Kwik Trip stores can be found at https://www.kwiktrip.com/Maps-Downloads/Store-List (click Export to CSV above the table), and that can be used as a basis for the requests:

import csv
import requests

with open('stores.csv') as f:
    reader = csv.DictReader(f)
    for row in reader:
        if row["Sells Gas"] == "No":
            continue
        if row["State"] != "MN":
            continue
        r = requests.get(f"https://api.kwiktrip.com/api/location/store/information/{row['Store Number']}").json()
        unleaded_price = [p for p in r["fuel"] if p["type"] == "UNLEADED"][0]
        print(f'{row["Store Number"]} ({row["City"]}, {row["State"]}): {unleaded_price["currentPrice"]}')
