Fortnite Creative Island Stats – Players, CCU & History

Get engagement stats for Fortnite Creative and UEFN islands straight from Epic's official public Fortnite Data API: peak concurrent players (CCU), plays, unique players, minutes played, average playtime, favorites, recommendations, D1/D7 retention and the island's genre rank. Pick islands by code, or take the top N islands per genre from Epic's official leaderboards. Turn on long-term history to keep daily metrics far beyond the API's 7-day window.

No login, no API key, no proxies – only public data that Epic publishes for discoverable islands.

What can you use it for?

• 📈 Map makers & studios – track your own islands daily and keep a growth history.
• 🕵️ Competitor research – see what the top Shooter, Horror or Tycoon islands do in plays and retention.
• 📰 Creators & journalists – daily "top islands" charts and trend stories.
• 💼 Brands & agencies – check island reach before sponsoring or building a branded map.

One row per island, e.g.:

{
  "code": "3225-0366-8885", "title": "STEAL THE BRAINROT", "creatorCode": "ferins", "createdIn": "UEFN",
  "tags": ["simulator", "tycoon"], "genreRanks": [{ "genre": "simulation-tycoon", "rank": 1 }],
  "latestBucket": "2026-11-02T00:00:00.000Z", "peakCCU": 33323, "uniquePlayers": 318924, "plays": 773826,
  "minutesPlayed": 12748286, "averageMinutesPerPlayer": 39.97, "favorites": 4407, "recommendations": 865,
  "retentionD1": 0.56, "retentionD7": 0.52, "windowMaxPeakCCU": 334435, "windowPlays": 3022778,
  "historyDays": 7, "url": "https://www.fortnite.com/@ferins/3225-0366-8885"
}

peakCCU … recommendations are the latest bucket with data; window* fields aggregate the whole interval window (7 days for day). A RUN_SUMMARY record is saved in the key-value store. Download as JSON, CSV, Excel or via API.

Long-term history

The Fortnite API only keeps 7 days. With keepHistory: true every run merges the daily buckets into the named key-value store fortnite-creative-islands-history (key HIST-<historyKey>, up to 730 days per island). Schedule the Actor daily or weekly and set includeHistory: true to get the full daily series per island.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per run start + $0.001 per island row (lower on higher Apify plans). 100 islands ≈ $0.10. Not-found, error and skipped rows are free.

FAQ

Do I need an Epic Games account or API key? No. The Actor uses Epic's official, public Fortnite Data API (api.fortnite.com/ecosystem/v1), which needs no login or key.

How do I track my own UEFN map over time? Put your island code in islandCodes, set keepHistory: true and schedule the Actor daily. Every run adds the new days to the history store, so after a few weeks you have a longer series than Epic's 7-day window.

How do I find the most played Fortnite Creative islands? Pick one or more genres and set topPerGenre. You get the current top islands from Epic's genre leaderboards with peak CCU, plays and retention.

Why is an island empty? Islands with fewer than 5 players in a time bucket have no public data (status: "no_data"). Private or unlisted islands are not available. Not-found and empty rows are free.

Can I export to Google Sheets or use it from an AI agent? Yes: export JSON/CSV/Excel, use the Apify API or Google Sheets integration, or call it through the Apify MCP server.

Notes & limits

• Data comes from api.fortnite.com/ecosystem/v1 (official, public). Only public, discoverable islands are available.
• Islands need at least 5 unique players in a bucket, otherwise values are null (status: "no_data").
• Favorites/recommendations are 0 for some Epic-made games.
• Requests are paced politely (~4/s) with back-off on rate limits. A run of 100 islands takes about 1–2 minutes.
• Not affiliated with or endorsed by Epic Games. Fortnite is a trademark of Epic Games, Inc.
