Fortnite Item Shop API - Complete Guide

The Fortnite Item Shop

The Fortnite Item Shop rotates daily at 00:00 UTC, featuring a curated selection of cosmetic items that players can purchase with V-Bucks. Our API gives you complete access to this data in real-time.

Item Shop Endpoint

GET /v1/shop/current

This endpoint returns the complete current item shop including:

Common Use Cases

1. Item Shop Tracker Website

Build a website that displays the current shop with images, prices, and item history. Many popular Fortnite community sites started exactly this way.

2. Discord Bot Notifications

Create a Discord bot that posts the new shop rotation to your server every day at reset time:

// Pseudocode for a daily shop notification bot
const cron = require("node-cron");

// Run at 00:05 UTC daily (5 min after shop reset)
cron.schedule("5 0 * * *", async () => {
  const shop = await fetch("https://api-fortnite.com/v1/shop/current", {
    headers: { Authorization: API_KEY },
  }).then((r) => r.json());

  const items = shop.data.featured
    .map((item) => `- ${item.name} (${item.price} V-Bucks)`)
    .join("\n");

  await sendToDiscord(`**Today's Item Shop:**\n${items}`);
});

3. Price History & Rarity Tracking

By storing shop data daily, you can build features like:

Upcoming Items

The API also provides an endpoint for upcoming/leaked shop items:

GET /v1/shop/upcoming

Note that upcoming items are based on data mining and may not always be accurate.
