Epic Games Store Offers API

Track Epic Games Store free games and deals - not a full gaming marketplace crawler. This Actor exports Epic Games Store offers, current and upcoming free-game promotions, prices, discounts, sellers, and product URLs from Epic's public store endpoint. It is built for clean scheduled extraction, deal monitoring, newsletters, dashboards, and game-price workflows.

✅ What you get / ❌ What this isn't

✅ Current Epic Games Store free-game promotions
✅ Upcoming free-game promotion windows
✅ Discounted offers with normalized prices and currency
✅ Seller, product slug, product URL, images, categories, and tags
✅ Multi-country storefront support
✅ A requests-only scraper with no browser, login, proxy, or LLM dependency

❌ Not Steam, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, or cross-store coverage
❌ Not historical price tracking by itself
❌ Not an alerting service by itself
❌ Not private or logged-in Epic account data

💵 How much does it cost?

Recommended launch pricing is about $1.00 per 1,000 output rows, with platform usage included. A daily run for one storefront usually emits only a handful of free-game/deal rows when includeNonDiscounted is off, so typical monitoring runs should be cheap.

🔁 Run it on the Apify platform

Use Apify scheduling for daily/weekly deal checks, API calls for on-demand extraction, webhooks for notifications, or Make/Zapier to push results into a spreadsheet, bot, or CMS.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• This Actor depends on Epic's public store backend endpoint.
• If Epic changes its response shape, the parser may need an update.
• It returns the current public snapshot, not historical price trends.
• Country storefront results can differ by availability and pricing.
