API.SH vs the official Epic Games API

Epic's official developer APIs are Epic Online Services, a free SDK and web API suite for matchmaking, friends, achievements, anti-cheat and player data inside your own game. They do not offer a public feed of Epic Games Store listings. API.SH reads the public store pages for free games, prices and catalog data.

Skip maintaining your own Epic Games Store scraper or an unofficial library that breaks when the store changes: API.SH gives you one key and a fixed price per call.

Epic Games API questions

What Epic Games data can I get?+

This week's and next week's free games (/epic-games/v1/free-games), a game's page with price, ratings and system requirements (/epic-games/v1/game) and catalog search with sale, price, genre and release filters (/epic-games/v1/search).

How much does the Epic Games API cost?+

Every Epic Games endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /epic-games/v1/free-games at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Epic Games API?+

Yes, but for game developers: Epic Online Services offers an SDK and web APIs for matchmaking, friends, achievements and anti-cheat. It does not cover Epic Games Store listings, which is the data API.SH returns.

Do I need an Epic Games account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Epic Games Store pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account.

How do I get the Epic Games free games list?+

Call /epic-games/v1/free-games. It returns the games free to keep now and the ones announced for next week, with the dates each offer starts and ends.

Can I use the Epic Games API from Python?+

Yes. It is a plain HTTPS API that returns JSON, so any language works. Use the Python SDK or call /epic-games/v1/free-games with requests and your API key. A short script can post the result to Discord or email on a schedule.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /epic-games/v1/free-games to list the current free games. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
