planned

Keep forever what Epic erases after seven days, for every public island and not only yours.

What this tool would do

  • A snapshot of the full list of public islands every 10 minutes, metadata and metrics included.
  • History with no time limit, queryable by island code, creator, genre or period.
  • Long curves (30, 90, 365 days) where the official API stops at 7 points.
  • A CSV export per island, so your numbers stay yours if you leave.

What it needs to exist

  • Epic's Ecosystem API, /islands and /islands/{code}/metrics endpoints, public and key-free.
  • A collection cron and a time-series store; volume is the real cost, not the data.
  • A retry queue, because the API returns null values for lightly played islands.

Why nobody does it today

The data is free, so everyone displays it and nobody keeps it. IslandAtlas, the most complete competitor, tracks only 242 islands. An exhaustive archive is the foundation Alerts, Benchmarks, Tile Vault and Portfolio all depend on: the only advantage that compounds over time.
