Read time 1 minuteLast updated 6 days ago
You can use the high-level API to send simple web requests to backends with common HTTP verbs such as 
GET
, 
POST
, 
PUT
. The following table lists some of the common operations supported by the high-level API. Refer to the linked API documentation for details and example usage for each operation:

Method

Description

UnityWebRequest.Get
Retrieve text or binary data from an HTTP Server (
GET
)
UnityWebRequest.Post
Send a form to an HTTP server (
POST
). Overloads are available that support form data submission in both the legacy 
WWWForm
 and the recommended 
IMultipartFormSection
 formats.
UnityWebRequest.Put
Upload raw data to an HTTP server (
PUT
)
UnityWebRequestTexture.GetTexture
Use a specialized type of web request optimized for downloading Unity 
Texture
 images from an HTTP server (
GET

UnityWebRequestAssetBundle.GetAssetBundle

These high-level requests automatically attach the appropriate upload or download handlers to the underlying 
UnityWebRequest
. These handlers provide the opportunity for customizing data before sending it and processing data after receiving it. For more information on upload and download handlers, refer to the low-level API reference.
