fortnite-basic-api

Basic Fortnite API for stats and server status built with async/await

Inspired by other repos about Fortnite API's as:

• https://github.com/SzymonLisowiec/node-epicgames-client

• https://github.com/qlaffont/fortnite-api

Which I previously used fortnite-api but have gotten issues with unhandledrejections which causing issues in other projects. Therefore I rebuilt with focus on Async/await to resolve the issues and adding support for V2 API endpoint.

BREAKING CHANGES

From v1.5 backward compatibility methods & ways of doing things has been removed. Check the examples how to use it properly.

• Generate device id from exchange example: https://github.com/iXyles/fortnite-basic-api/blob/master/example-test/generatedeviceauth.js
• Login with regular creds and use device auth example: https://github.com/iXyles/fortnite-basic-api/blob/master/example-test/deviceauth.js

Example usage:

const { Client, Communicator, FriendStatus } = require('fortnite-basic-api');
 
// Creation of the Client, autokill will kill the session when client is disposed.
// If you are not giving any tokens it will use the default ones that are needed.
// If you got rate limited (captcha_invalid) you can use an exchangeCode to generate a deviceauth.
// You get the exchangeCode at https://www.epicgames.com/id/login?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.epicgames.com%2Fid%2Fapi%2Fexchange.
// Remember that you must be logged in with the account you want at https://epicgames.com
// AND BE CAREFUL! The generated code bypasses all 2FA logins & credentials, so do not share it.
const client = new Client({
  email: process.env.FORTNITE_EMAIL, // PLEASE USE ENV VARIABLES!
  password: process.env.FORTNITE_PASSWORD, // PLEASE USE ENV VARIABLES!
  // You should not have to update any of the tokens.
  launcherToken: 'MzRhMDJjZjhmNDQxNGUyOWIxNTkyMTg3NmRhMzZmOWE6ZGFhZmJjY2M3Mzc3NDUwMzlkZmZlNTNkOTRmYzc2Y2Y=',
  fortniteToken: 'ZWM2ODRiOGM2ODdmNDc5ZmFkZWEzY2IyYWQ4M2Y1YzY6ZTFmMzFjMjExZjI4NDEzMTg2MjYyZDM3YTEzZmM4NGQ=',
  autokill: true,
});
 
// Creation of communicator
const communicator = new Communicator(client);
 
// Example of usage
(async () => {
  // Perform the login process of the "client"

  // Setup communicator events

    }

    console.log('message', await friend.sendMessage('Send something back'));
  });
 
  // Then connect it
  console.log(await communicator.connect());
 
  // Since everything is async based, we can query everything parallel how ever we want with await

  // Node will die and print that the session has been killed if login was successful
})();
