Steps
Obtain an EIA API key (eia.gov/opendata) if you don't already have one from the propane-stocks route.
Call https://api.eia.gov/v2/seriesid/PET.WDISTUS1.W?api_key=YOUR_KEY for the 'Weekly U.S. Ending Stocks of Distillate Fuel Oil' national series (Thousand Barrels).
For finer granularity (e.g., by PADD region), query the petroleum/stoc/wstk route directly with facets[product][] and facets[duoarea][] parameters instead of the seriesid shortcut.
Read period/value pairs from the response; distillate stocks are released alongside propane stocks in the same Wednesday Weekly Petroleum Status Report cycle.
Combine with the propane stocks series (WPRSTUS1) to build a joint heating-fuels inventory view for dual-fuel service territories.
Known gotchas
'Distillate fuel oil' is a broader EIA category that includes both heating oil and diesel — a PADD/region-filtered series won't isolate heating-oil-only end use; treat it as a proxy, not an exact figure.
Same 5,000-row pagination cap and API-key requirement as the propane stocks series applies here.
This is a stocks/inventory series, distinct from EIA's heating oil retail price series — don't conflate volume data with price data.
