How is OilPriceAPI different from WellDatabase?

While WellDatabase offers a comprehensive web-based platform for research and mapping, OilPriceAPI is built specifically for developers and analysts who need programatic access to well data and commodity prices via REST API. We focus on delivering structured JSON data for well permits, rig counts, and frac spreads that can be easily integrated into custom applications.

Does OilPriceAPI provide well permit data?

Yes. Our Reservoir Mastery plan provides access to over 2.19 million well permits across 27 US states, updated daily. This data is delivered via the same modern REST API used for our oil price data.

What is the cost comparison between WellDatabase and OilPriceAPI?

WellDatabase pricing typically targets enterprise users with higher entry costs. OilPriceAPI offers a transparent, tiered pricing model starting at $49/month for commodity data, with the Reservoir Mastery (Drilling Intelligence) plan available for advanced data needs at $249/month.
