Fortnite REST Client

A promise based REST client for querying ingame data (such as stats) against the official Fortnite game servers. A valid Fortnite account is required to access these endpoints.

Features

Promise based methods to get any Fortnite player's stats
Fully OOP and typesafe
Throws exceptions if exceeding predefined timeouts or 4xx / 5xx status codes in response.
Written in TypeScript (provides always up to date type definitions
Covers all publicly accessible endpoints
Integration tests
No token capturing or similiar needed, just pass your username/pass into the config

And coming up on the roadmap...

Fortnite REST Client

Getting started

Prerequisites

Node.js 8.0+
Valid Fortnite account (email and password)
Launcher & Client token (can both be sniffed using Fiddler)

Installation

$ npm install --save fortnite-client

Note: Typescript definitions are included, there is no need for installing types from the Definetely Typed Repo.

Basic usage

Typescript (2.0+):

import { FortniteClient, IFortniteClientCredentials, Lookup, PlayerStats } from 'fortnite-client';

const credentials: IFortniteClientCredentials = {
  email: 'weeco91@gmail.com',
  password: 'my-strong-password'
};
const api: FortniteClient = new FortniteClient(credentials);

async function bootstrap(): Promise<void> {
  try {
    await api.login();
    const ninjaLookup: Lookup = await api.lookup('ninja');
    const ninjaStats: PlayerStats = await api.getBattleRoyaleStatsById(ninjaLookup.id);
    console.log(ninjaStats.toJson());
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

bootstrap();

Javascript (requires ES6+):

const FortniteClient = require('fortnite-client').FortniteClient;

const credentials = {
  email: 'weeco91@gmail.com',
  password: 'my-strong-password'
};
const api = new FortniteClient(credentials);

async function bootstrap() {
  try {
    await api.login();
    const ninjaLookup = await api.lookup('ninja');
    const ninjaStats = await api.getBattleRoyaleStatsById(ninjaLookup.id);
    console.log(ninjaStats.toJson());
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

bootstrap();

Class FortniteClient

The class FortniteClient offers all available endpoints as promise based functions. Each function returns a Promise which resolves to a class instances (e. g. PlayerStats). In order to serialize the data to JSON you can just call the instance's toJson() method, which will return an object.

Instantion

When creating an instance of FortniteClient you can pass a couple options which are described below:

/**
 * Creates a new fortnite client instance.
 * @param credentials The account's credentials which shall be used for the REST requests.
 * @param options Library specific options (such as a response timeout until it throws an exception).
 */
constructor(credentials: IFortniteClientCredentials, options?: IFortniteClientOptions);

export interface IFortniteClientOptions {
  /**
   * Timeout for awaiting a response until it fails. Defaults to 5000 milliseconds.
   */
  timeoutMs?: number;
  /**
   * Tunnel requests through a proxy of your choice. If you want to inspect requests with Fiddler you have to
   * setup the proxy here.
   */
  proxy?: IProxyOptions;
}

export interface IProxyOptions {
  host: string;
  port: number;
}

Available endpoints

Route	Returns
`static CHECK_STATUS()`	Promise\<ICheckStatus[]>
`static GET_GAME_NEWS()`	Promise\
`login()`	Promise\
`getBattleRoyaleStatsById(userId: string, timeWindow: TimeWindow, convertJSONOutput: boolean=true)`	Promise\	IStatsItem[]>
`getStore(locale: string = 'en-US')`	Promise\
`getLeaderboards(leaderboardType: LeaderboardType, platform: Platform, groupType: GroupType, timeWindow: TimeWindows, limit: number = 50)`	Promise\
`lookup(username: string)`	Promise\
`lookupByIds(accountIds: string[])`	Promise\<Map<string, ILookup>>

Class LauncherClient

The class LauncherClient offers some of the endpoints (which I considered as useful) made by the Epic Games Launcher.

Instantion

When creating an instance of LauncherClient you can pass a couple options which are the same as described in FortniteClient Instantion.

Available endpoints

Route	Returns
`buildInformation()`	Promise\
