Trying to find concrete information regarding whether or not you can request rides for other people using an Uber Central API. I want to be able to offer clients that come to my business a ride home or a ride to my business. I see Uber Central is meant to fill that, but is there a way to use the API to do what Uber Central is made to do?
Specifically, is there an Uber Central API available yet?
I can confirm there is not an Uber Central API available.

Does Uber provide API to access Scooter and bike data ?

Is it possible to use the Uber API to detect rides that originated from the Uber app?
I'm trying to get a machine learning system to learn when you are using uber.
No, whether a ride originated from the Uber app or from a separate integration is not a field/endpoint in the current Uber API.
Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but something that might be helpful is the /history endpoint. "The User Activity endpoint returns a limited amount of data about a user’s lifetime activity with Uber. The response will include pickup and dropoff times, the city the trips took place in, the distance of past requests, and information about which products were requested."

I'm trying to use UberAPi to request rides while not requiring an authentication from the end user (rider).
My company should be responsible for the payments from such rides, and would only request that a driver appears at point A at such time, and deliver someone to point B.
Uber business does have all the features needed for such an integration: Usage reports, expense codes, and else, but I see no way of doing this without either an SSO or OAuth.
No, it is not currently possible to use the api for such a use case. You might want to consider using Uber Central.
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.
My business opportunity would benefit from being able to request an Uber to pick up a client and arrive at my place of business, and not just the client requesting the Uber themselves. Is this something that I can do today with Uber?
edit: the origin of my request would be different than the requested pick-up location.
The Uber API gives you the ability to Request an Uber Product on behalf of users within your application. Given you know where a user currently is, where they want to go, and which Uber product they want to use to get there, you have all of the tools to make that happen with a few simple API endpoints.
Looks like I answered my own question :)
