Integration Example: Budget Forecasting

// Fetch current fuel prices for budget planning
const getFuelCostsForFleet = async (fleetSize, avgMilesPerVehicle) => {
  const response = await fetch('https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/diesel', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': 'Token YOUR_API_KEY' }
  });

  const { price, currency, updated_at } = await response.json();

  // Calculate monthly fuel budget
  const gallonsPerMile = 0.15; // average for fleet vehicles
  const monthlyGallons = fleetSize * avgMilesPerVehicle * gallonsPerMile;
  const monthlyBudget = monthlyGallons * price;

  return {
    currentDieselPrice: price,
    estimatedMonthlyBudget: monthlyBudget.toFixed(2),
    priceAsOf: updated_at,
    fleetVehicles: fleetSize
  };
};

// Example: 500 vehicle fleet, 2000 miles/month each
const budget = await getFuelCostsForFleet(500, 2000);
// Returns: { monthlyBudget: "450000.00", ... }
