Example Uber app for developers

https://developer.uber.com/
This is a simple Python/Flask application intended to provide a working example of Uber's external API. The goal of these endpoints is to be simple, well-documented and to provide a base for developers to develop other applications off of.
- Navigate over to https://developer.uber.com/, and sign up for an Uber developer account.
- Register a new Uber application and make your Redirect URI http://localhost:7000/submit - ensure that both the profile and history OAuth scopes are checked.
- Fill in the relevant information in the config.json file in the root folder and add your client id and secret as the environment variables UBER_CLIENT_ID and UBER_CLIENT_SECRET.
- Run export UBER_CLIENT_ID="{your client id}"&&export UBER_CLIENT_SECRET="{your client secret}"
- Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies
- Run python app.py
- Navigate to http://localhost:7000 in your browser
- Install the dependencies with make bootstrap
- Run the command make test
- If you delete the fixtures, or decide to add some of your own, you’ll have to re-generate them, and the way this is done is by running the app, getting an auth_token from the main page of the app. Paste that token in place of the test_auth_token at the top of the test_endpoints.py file, then run the tests.
If you want to work on this application we’d love your pull requests and tickets on GitHub!
- If you open up a ticket, please make sure it describes the problem or feature request fully.
- If you send us a pull request, make sure you add a test for what you added, and make sure the full test suite runs with make test.
Click the button below to set up this sample app on Heroku:

After creating your app on Heroku, you have to configure the redirect URL for your Uber OAuth app. Use a https://{your-app-name}.herokuapp.com/submit URL.
You will also want to configure the heroku environment variable FLASK_DEBUG=False in order to properly serve SSL traffic.
