This page explains how to start using Unity Services.
Prerequisites
Before you can use Unity Services, you must first create a Unity account and a Unity project.
Create a Unity account
To create a Unity account:
- Go to the Unity dashboard.
- Select Create account.
- In the Create a Unity ID page, enter your information and select Create Unity ID to create your Unity account.
Create a Unity project
To create a Unity project:
- Go to the Unity dashboard.
- Sign in with your Unity account.
- In the Main Menu, go to Projects > + New.
- In the dialog that opens, name your project and choose a COPPA designation.
- Select Create to create your project.
Note
All new projects are automatically assigned to the organization that is active when they are created. Because of this, these projects inherit their organization's member roles and settings.If you need to grant a user special access to a tool or information, you can assign project-specific roles without granting the user access to all of the projects assigned to the organization.
Alternatively, you can transfer a project to a different organization.
Access Unity Services APIs
You can access Unity Services APIs using Client SDKs or Web APIs.
Client SDKs
You should use Client SDKs if you want to:
- Work with the Unity Engine
- Use a supported language such as C# within the Unity Editor
- Reduce the amount of code you need to write
To download Client SDKs, go to the Package Manager in the Unity Editor. For more information on Client SDKs, see the SDK documentation.
Web APIs
You should use Web APIs if you want to:
- Work with a different gaming engine
- Use a language not supported by the Unity Editor
- Automate your workflows more easily
You can use curl commands to try out different Web APIs before developing your application.
Set up authentication for your API
To set up authentication for the API you're working with, see the Authentication page.
Test an API endpoint
To test the endpoint of the API you're trying to reach, call the API directly.
