I have just submitted an application for access to the Uber Driver API including details of my intended use of the service for the benefit of drivers.
Uber's response was "we will let you know if we think there is a fit".
Does anyone know if this is literally true? Or is there some period of
time after which I assume that my application has been rejected?
Better still, is there a way to find out a rejection status and appeal?
Uber as of now don't provide a way to track the progress of your application to access the Driver API, If your use case is really helpful for the driver and Uber also think that is, along with other parameters like number of current user base etc., they might consider.
You can always checkout the developer support page

With there being rate limits should I ask for an increase when trying to get all access approval? Since my app asks the driver/ rider to sign in using their uber credentials will this help limit the calls to the API?
Thanks in advance.
Probably not, but it depends entirely on your purpose.
Calls to an API are usually done to get or update data on the home servers, in this case Uber's servers. As such, any Uber specific information you require will likely need to be accessed through their API.
Now, I've not reviewed Uber's API so if you can use the return from the login request to resolve all your needs then great. However, if you need to get data from their servers it would only reduce calls to the API if they require data returned on the login which can only otherwise be retrieved by making another call to their API.
I've recently seen this message:
This product is deprecated and will no longer be supported on May 31st, 2018. If you are starting a new project you should use deep links to m.uber.com. See the migration guide on how to link to the latest Uber rider experience.
Here's a screenshot of this message
Keeping in mind that this widget offers these functionalities(as does the REST API):
Selecting a service (e.g., uberX, UberBlack, etc.)
Specifying pickup and dropoff locations
Viewing time and price estimates
Requesting a ride
Will the Rest API be somehow affected by this change?
Will I be able to further make requests like these ones?
GET /v1.2/estimates/price
GET /v1.2/history
GET /v1.2/places/{place_id}
I'm not an Uber representative, and I really kind of feel that asking support from a vendor is the way to go for a vendor specific thing. However, when I read that message and screenshot they are clearly talking about a widget, not a REST api.
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.
I am implementing espn api, but having some issue, most api gives me this response.
{"timestamp" :"2013-02-25T11:19:02Z","message" :"This action is forbidden for the requested resource at your permission level. Please review the documentation for account level access.","status" :"error","code" :403}
I am using this api Espn MLB Standing
I want to know that where to review the documentation, i is there any need to purchase some api or anything else?
[EDIT]
One more thing there is ?apikey=:yourkey , so this key is same for all user or we have to get this according to user login.
I think you are using the wrong apikey or there is some issue in your URL query.
Your app will have a unique apikey. This key is same for all users who are using the app.
You should get a apikey by registering to their site and use it for development purpose.
My rep doesn't allowing commenting, but I thought I'd add the following here:
A small amount of ESPN API data is free, but much requires payment.
You probably don't want to publicly share your personal API key for security reasons.
Go to http://developer.espn.com/io-docs and plug in your API key and use the GUI to generate an API call/response. It's a good way to see a valid, working syntax that you can then drop into your app and edit as necessary.
