Is there a way to use the Uber Driver API to be notified when the driver is a certain distance away from doing a pickup?
No, this is not one of the endpoints on the Uber driver API. The existing endpoints are profile, payments, & trips: https://developer.uber.com/docs/drivers/introduction
Real time availability / status of a driver is not a current existing driver API endpoint.

on Uber developer documentation i have seen that is possible to retrieve the histroy trip about user.
Is possible to retrieve the list of driver trip with start city and end city into response?
The /trips endpoint with the Driver API is essentially /history for drivers. You are correct that this does not include end city, just the start city: https://developer.uber.com/docs/drivers/references/api/v1/partners-trips-get
So if you need the destination location for Driver history, that is currently not possible with Driver API. Thanks for the request, but no changes imminent there.
I am trying to build a process to consume history api of Uber to display details of the users trips on one of my webpage. Has anyone done this?
I see that api definition on the UBER site
https://developer.uber.com/docs/rides/api/v12-history
However this does not provide how to provide the driver id? How can i get to the history of one particular driver?
All i need is trip details for every driver - assuming the driver id is available.
Any request sample will actually help.
Uber currently does not have API endpoints that provide information about driver activity. This is something we are considering, but at this time we do not have any public plans for a release.
Thanks for your interest in the Uber API. Follow #Uber_API and visit devblog.uber.com for updates and announcements.
I have created a Uber app(Rides API) and using server token i can able to get
Price and Time estimates.
How can I schedule a driver using Uber api?
If you want to make a request for a ride, you need to POST to /requests. Like agraebe said, you can find documentation on that endpoint here.
This page also has a tutorial on requesting a ride, and the lifecycle of a request, walking you through step by step how requests work.
Can you request a driver's car make/model, name, location, and rating via Uber API?
When a user is on a trip, all of that information is available to you (with regards to the driver who is currently giving the user a ride) when you request the status of the users trip: https://developer.uber.com/docs/v1-requests-current
If you're asking wether that information can be obtained about the user themselves (if they are also a driver), that feature is not currently supported by the Uber API.
Does the Uber API currently allow a "driver" to login and then determine if the driver has a current request that is "in_progress". My app needs to verify in real-time if the API authenticated driver (via OAuth) is currently driving passengers. It seems like most of the API is from a "rider" standpoint as opposed to a driver.
I think there is no API currently for driver side, only rider clients can make requests to Uber endpoints now.
