    • Get JSON data stuck behind CAPTCHA click???? i.e. US Gas Prices

      Any suggestions on how to get the up-to-date gas prices in any US locality, such as from this URL:

      https://www.geico.com/save/local-gas-prices/

      Unfortunately (albeit understandably) there is a CAPTCHA to click before the prices are returned.

      Any suggestions on an alternate source? Gas Buddy and the like doesn’t work well in rural US as the last consumer update on prices in my area was 3 years ago.

      I contacted Mapquest API…they said that although they provide gas price data to humans on their website, it is not available for scripts running automated requests publicly (they also get data from OPIS).

      Contacted OPIS customer support for APIs…no options to access this data for free from the primary source (OPIS).

      Whichever source should get their updates from OPIS which charges a hefty price for their API use and is not feasable for end-users like me.
