Linking to databases.

Unity Engine
1

I hope this is the right forum for this type of post.

I have an idea but i’m struggling to get it to work. I need a free music database that I can link to unity through scripts. This should allow me to search through thousands of songs. Currently, I haven’t found a web database, but I did find a NuGet pkg. Unfortunately, I don’t know how in import a .nupkg file into MonoDevelop so it can be used.

The .nupkg file comes from Quantones.

Help would appreciated,
Thanks Dream.

You will probably have to create a C# wrapper which you use to interact with an online API.
Basic flow is:

  • Create URL with specific parameters which queries online database using GET.
  • Download JSON from the page
  • Deserialize this JSON into a C# class
  • Display this data somehow within Unity

Spotify has an API:

As does Napster:

There is also a seemingly much simpler one here:

EDIT: You cant use NuGet packages within Unity.
