Recently, Uber has released and announced the launch of new API feature for app developers globally. This API allows the riders freedom to connect to third party apps to Uber to enjoy the ride and make fun. It is for viewing content, notifications and ads during the trip. It requires the rider’s approval.

Request API for iOS and Android

Uber API allowing deep linking and SDK for Java and Python. It provides affiliate program also. It offers Ride request buttons for iOS and Android Apps. It provide single deep link into app.

iOS:

Swift library is used to integrate Uber into your app. Uber iOS SDK provides thie swift library for integration. It requires minimum iOS 8 and Xcode 7.1+. It gives Cocoapods written in swift.
You can integrate without using dependency manager. You can add project manually. Import UserRides library in to the project for Uber rides integration. Insert drop off location parameters like longitude, latitude and location name, should be passed on the drivers. You can set color for Ride. Also configure RidesClient with Client Id.
