UberApi

Ruby wrapper for the Uber API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'uber_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install uber_api

Usage

To begin with, simply initialize a new client, from which you can make API requests:

client = Uber::Client.new(:server_token => 'YOUR_SERVER_TOKEN',:bearer_token => 'YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN')

At least one of the two parameters is necessary for using the API - the bearer token gets you access to all five endpoints, while the server token gets you access to the products, prices and time endpoints.

The specific parameters for each endpoint, and the response fields, are detailed in the Uber API docs

###Public Endpoints Public endpoints can be accessed with only a server token. Some sample calls to the public endpoints are shown below:

=end

###User Endpoints User endpoints can be accessed in a similar manner to the public endpoints. However, you'll need a bearer token, which you can generate using the oauth_example.rb sample sinatra app. The two user endpoint calls are:

client.profile

client.history(offset, limit)
