Desert Price Index
Tracks real gas prices at around nineteen Coachella Valley stations and publishes them on a live map.
What it is
The problem
Local price data exists but nobody had assembled it for this valley specifically.
What we built
A scraper on a six-a-day cron writing to JSON, rendered on a Leaflet map with fallbacks when a station posts no price.
Built with
PHP, Cron, Leaflet, JSON
Our relationship to it
Experiment. This runs to answer a question, not to make money. It may be retired once it has told us what we wanted to know.
