Uber Taxi App Integration

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi,

Has anyone in the community any experience in using the Uber Taxi app API?

I have had a very quick look at the docs and it appears to be fairly straight forward for a intermediate Corona SDK programmer but unfortunately I am a Noobie.

I am going to be writing a app for a restaurant and they would like to be able to order an Uber taxi directly from the app (using the POST /v1/requests api call?).

If there is anyone that has done some on this then please contact me or indeed if there is anyone that can help with the api calls then that would be great too.

Here’s a link to the API tutorials :

Thanks in advance

The tricky part is authenticating with OAUTH 2.0.  I think our Twitter Sample App (SampleCode/Networking/Twitter) has an oauth.lua module with it that I think has been updated to 2.0.

Once you have that issue solved, then it’s just a matter of using network.request() to all the individual AP calls.
