Examples for REST API window in Unity

Are there any examples for the REST API within Unity?

Stuff like adding, removing, or editing documents from NoSQL via JSON or other cool things?

What is the shortcode for? Does it work just like this documentation says? I just put in the request in there?


Also, stupid question, in Unity's Rest API window, it says username. Is that just my email I'm using? I can't find my username anywhere.

Editing the game-config from a client project would be a really bad idea.
Especially since you can preform the same tasks using custom-log events with the benefit of sending that data over secure websocekts. You dont want to me sending your api-key and server-secret from the client when you dont need to.

However, an alternative could be to create your own REST api using one of your own custom callbacks.
You can send the post-url using UnityWebRequests.

The REST api window in unity is only intended for testing, so the username and password are a player's username and password, not yours as the developer.

Hope that helps,
Sean
