Extracting Google Maps Place Data (specifically gas prices)

Question

I am developing an android app that will take in a fuel range of a vehicle and create a google map of the available gas stations in the area of that fuel range. I can currently get the place data from the Google Nearby Place Search function to get all the nearby gas stations within a radius but it doesn't seem to have any of the gas price data, similar to what you find when you search google maps from your computer and select a gas station icon. I want to be able to display the prices with the markers so the user can find the cheapest gas station easier.

Can anyone tell me where I can find this gas price data within the google maps place details?

Is this information a premium data feature or does it just require some more digging into the individual places?

Answer 1

Gas price data is not currently available via any Google Maps APIs, there's no supported way to grab this in a programmatic fashion. Feel free to file a feature request for the Places API following these instructions.
