Building a Weather-Based Decision-Making App in Unity

News & General Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’m working on an app in Unity that will sync weekly weather data using an API and provide predictions and recommendations based on that data. For example, it might suggest the best times to water plants or what to do based on the forecast.

I’m looking for advice on integrating weather APIs with Unity and parsing the data effectively and how I can get started and finish this project the fastest. (I know it’s complicated but I’m trying to not waste time)

I also want to include a basic discussion feature where users can talk about the app’s predictions and share tips. If anyone has experience with creating simple forums or chat systems in Unity, I’d appreciate your input on managing and moderating these discussions.

Thanks for any advice or tips you can provide!

The first question is: Do you really need to use Unity? Do you have 3D realtime rendering or complex 2D rendering that can’t be done easily in HTML/CSS/JS?

If the answer is no, don’t use Unity and just build a classic web app.

If the answer is yes, please provide more information on specific problems you have with the API. There are many tutorials online that already explain how to use an external API from your Unity app.
