I have looked at the network documentation for Unity and most examples seem to be related to networking your game for multiplayer. I am just looking to grab a JSON response from an api for dynamically generating a menu. Is there some good examples for doing just simple network calls to get a response from a web server?
Thanks
For access to a web based API it would be easiest to use the WWW class in Unity.

Make sure to check the documentation about using it asynchronously, or it can block execution while waiting for the web server to respond (or not respond).
