Hello! I would like to ask about the Web API for Verse. Is it possible to use these functions now and is it necessary and possible to contact Epic for a personal license to be able to use queries to my own external databases? I want to create something like an auction for my project in Fortnite, and since the functionality of Verse itself is limited for now, this can be fixed using external databases. Thank you for your attention.
Hey there @Ja6ka1337! Welcome to the community! I believe the Web API for verse is not yet available publicly at the moment. Due to the nature of external data and the closed environment of UEFN, it needs some careful consideration before becoming available.
Hello! I have the same question. I found the WebAPI module in the official Verse API reference (/UnrealEngine.com/WebAPI), and it compiles in my UEFN project. The documentation says “Licensed users” create a derived client_id and use its class path as a configuration key in a backend service to map to their endpoint.
So my questions are:
- Is there a license application process for individual creators?
- Who sets up the backend service mapping, Epic or the creator?
- Is this allowed on published islands?
Has anything changed since February? Thank you!
