# fuelprice — Weekly Fuel Price

## Status

**Status:** Fresh

**Freshness:** 3 days

HTTP 200

## Last checked

2026-08-16 at 02:09:20 UTC.

## File size

The checked resource is 205,248 bytes.

## Known quirks

1. **offset parameter silently ignored.** The API does not paginate. The client must use `limit=500` with default ascending sort to capture all rows, then deduplicate client-side by `date`.
2. **date filter silently ignored.** Passing `date=YYYY-MM-DD` returns the full history regardless. Filtering must be done client-side.
3. **Subsidy fields nullable on older dates.** The 4 subsidy variants (ron95_skps, diesel_budi, diesel_skds, ron95_budi95) are not populated before subsidy programs started; missing values are valid, not corruption.

## Reproducibility

Anyone with `curl` and `jq` can verify:

```bash
curl "https://api.data.gov.my/data-catalogue?id=fuelprice&limit=500" | jq '. | length'
# Expected: ~500 raw rows, 472 unique after deduplication by date

curl "https://api.data.gov.my/data-catalogue?id=fuelprice&limit=1" | jq '.[0]'
# Inspect a single row's structure
```
