    Hi,
    Please tell me - how to make Unity build in WebGL working with Cognito services. As far as I know, there is no SDK for WebGL.
    So how can I implement Cognito functionalities like Login, Refresh Token, Forgot password in Unity WebGL

    Yes, but this applies to AWS .Net SDK, right?
    My question is - can I use i.e. Cognito API with HTTP requests directly in Unity?
    Or do sth else, but still using Cognito?

    If there is a HTTP request api you can use any such service from WebGL using the WebRequest class.

    @LoopIssuer I might be investigating something similar (but not for WebGL specifically). Are you still working on this too?

    Instead of building my implementation with the SDK, I'm working on a proxy integration using the AWS services and REST endpoints. Alexandre Bruffa seems to have a few tutorials that cover that approach too: https://betterprogramming.pub/how-i-built-a-hotel-platform-with-unity3d-and-aws-22bd3c315d81

    I also plan to check the AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-rest-tutorials.html

    Yes, I ended with BE's endpoints - on the BE we have Cognito SDK.

    The AWS .net libraries don't work in WebGL.
    I used the ones for javascript and let the browser do the communication.

    Could you please explain more about how to use javascript SDK in Unity?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "BE's endpoints."

    Also, to clarify, I do not mean using SDKs.

    You can call Javascript via Unity and vice versa.
    Now get the aws javascript libraries and implement the login like on a website.
    Then just call them from unity.
