Transportation — entry 068 of 69
Uber
Uber's developer platform covers the Rides API (fare estimates, trip requests, and status for the rider vertical) alongside a Deliveries API, all gated behind an OAuth 2.0 app registration. The old `/products` landing page is gone -- docs now live under a restructured `/docs` tree -- and the production `api.uber.com` endpoint returns 401 without a bearer token and sends no CORS headers, so calls must be proxied server-side rather than made directly from the browser.
AuthenticationOAuthRequires an OAuth flow; expect app registration.
HTTPSSupportedTraffic is encrypted in transit.
CORSDisabledBrowser calls need a server-side proxy.
PricingPaidSubscription required — no meaningful free tier.
FormatsJSONResponses can be requested as JSON.
