# Locate alternative-fuel stations across the US via NREL...

`GET /api/energy/fuel-stations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://2s.io`
- URL: `https://2s.io/api/energy/fuel-stations`
- Auth: API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

Locate alternative-fuel stations across the US via NREL Alternative Fuels Data Center. Search by lat/lon + radius (miles), state, or zip. Filter by fuelType (BD=Biodiesel | CNG=Compressed Natural Gas | ELEC=Electric vehicle charging | E85=Ethanol | HY=Hydrogen | LNG=Liquefied Natural Gas | LPG=Propane | RD=Renewable Diesel), status (E=Available | P=Planned | T=Temporarily Unavailable), access (public/private), and EV network. For EV chargers, returns connector types (J1772, CHAdeMO, Tesla, etc.), Level 1/2/DC-fast counts, pricing, and access hours. Indispensable for trip-planning agents, fleet logistics, EV-adoption analysis.

## Query parameters

- `lat` number
- `lon` number
- `radius` number
- `fuelType` string
- `state` string
- `zip` string
- `status` 'all' | 'E' | 'P' | 'T'
- `accessCode` 'all' | 'public' | 'private'
- `network` string
- `limit` integer
- `trial` 1

## Other responses

- `200` (unresolved $ref)
- `400`: Invalid request — not charged. error.code: BAD_REQUEST or INVALID_PARAM (parameter validation; error.details.issues lists each problem), MALFORMED_JSON, or a request-specific code. Other client errors: 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (wrong verb; see the Allow header), 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE.
- `402`: Payment required. Body is the x402 PaymentRequirements envelope with a multi-network accepts array; the per-call price is in accepts[].amount (and on the operation as x-2s-price). Sign for whichever rail you hold USDC on (EIP-3009 for Base, partial SPL transfer for Solana) and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (X-PAYMENT also accepted for v1 clients). Also PAYMENT_SETTLE_FAILED (error envelope) when a verified payment failed to settle: error.details.chargeStatus is "not_charged" (retry with a fresh payment) or "unknown" (the authorization may still settle before its deadline — check it before retrying).
- `429`: Too many requests — RATE_LIMITED: our per-IP / per-payer limiter. Not charged; retry after Retry-After.
- `5XX`: Server-side failure. 500 INTERNAL: unexpected error; quote error.errorId (also the X-2s-Error-Id header). 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (or another UPSTREAM_* code): the data provider failed — composite endpoints refuse unbilled when every source fails. 503 SERVICE_PAUSED: endpoint paused by the operator kill switch, retry after Retry-After; 503 SPEND_CAP: daily upstream budget exhausted. 504 UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT. Not charged.
