We check Fortnite's listed URL (https://fortnitetracker.com/site-api) once a day. History started when Fortnite was first checked, so new entries show fewer than 30 days.

Fortnite API not working for you?

  1. Fortnite needs an API key. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string.
  2. A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
  3. If calls fail only in the browser with a CORS error, Fortnite may not allow cross-origin requests. Call it from your server instead.
  4. If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
  5. Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

Fortnite API status FAQ

Is Fortnite API down right now?

Fortnite answered our last daily check (Oct 24, 2026, 12:25 UTC) in 896 ms with HTTP 403. This page also runs a live check from our server when you open it, so you can see whether Fortnite is responding at this moment.

How do you check whether Fortnite API is up?

Once a day our checker requests Fortnite's listed URL (https://fortnitetracker.com/site-api) and records whether it answers within 15 seconds. Answers like 401 (needs a key), 403 (blocks bots) or 429 (rate-limited) count as up, because the server responded. The listed URL is often the documentation page, so an API endpoint can occasionally fail while its docs stay up.

What can I use if Fortnite API is down?

Free Games & Comics APIs that were up at their last check include L2 Calendar, Astroworld, Barter.VG. See the full list of Fortnite alternatives for a comparison.

Why does Fortnite API work for others but not for me?

A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
