Sending Web Requests in Unity - UnityWebRequest

Sending a HTTP request in Unity can be a little tricky. Watch this to avoid a few gotchas and streamline your development.

0:19 dude I've been driving me crazy and just had to add the SetRequestHeader Content-Type application/json. You're a wonderful person, you know that. Thank you very much!!!!

THANK YOU!

Error I ran into a lot:

Just bear in mind guys, the Post request URL in this video uses Cloudflare... So I was getting a failed response for AGES. I think I needed to accept cookies in Unity? But I could not find how to do that, from memory it is just a Header that needs to be set.
After realizing this was the issue (by copying the text response into an html doc and looking at it in the browser...) I just linked it to my backend and everything worked great!

Also, UnityWebRequest uses NativeArrays, so make sure you put these in using statements or dispose of the UnityWebRequest once you are done to avoid memory leaks.

Example:
{
yield return req.SendWebRequest();
// Code here
}

Thank you very much Taro for the vid, I will probs use your CreateRequest function as a static so I can use it everywhere. Such a great implementation :)

Thank You so much. I also spend a lot of time with the deserialization before i found this video. The video was really helpful

Hi Taro, great vid! But could be even greater if you tested the code visually, maybe an idea for one of the next vids? Thanks :)

Hi! May I know how do we deserialize if the output json is nested? For example:
{
"user": {
"userID": "1234",
"username": "test,
}
}

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was wondering whether it would be possible to bypass the SSL certificate verification when making a POST request.

Tnx for the video.
I used unityWebRequest class as you did and it works perfectly on the editor.
However, after export to android, my server doesn't get any requests.

Do you know anything about this bug?

[dibaterman]

Great stuff, not sure about what to do with this though.

I played a game once where they had an ingame forum where people posted their experience with specific things.

So like an item had a little ? and if you clicked that it leads you to the forum on that item where people tell you their experience about the item.

I figure it is probably doing something with this.

Could you createa video on creating a Dreamlo connection using Webrequest? Would be something lots of people look for and something niche that no one has done yet ;) ...plus I need it :D

[jfiascaro]

How can we send the secret and public keys for security connection?

Hey I have a project I’m working on that uses UnityWebRequest and I’m stuck could you assist me?

[DannyAstle]

Using this code, I kept getting this error: Argument exeception: JSON parse error: invalid value, Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks
