Uber

Uber is a global technology platform offering transportation, food delivery, and logistics services. Its developer platform provides APIs for integrating ride requests, food ordering, on-demand delivery, voucher programs, and business travel management into third-party applications. APIs use OAuth 2.0 authentication with scope-based access controls and support both production and sandbox environments.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Uber the way a machine reads it — 93 machine-readable artifacts across 20 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Uber scores 61.6/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Uber

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Uber. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 20

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

Uber GraphQL Schema

This conceptual GraphQL schema covers the full breadth of the Uber developer platform, spanning ride-sharing (Riders API, Drivers API, Guest Rides), food delivery (Uber Eats), o...

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Sandbox Environment

Most APIs offer a sandbox for simulating rides, deliveries, and orders without dispatching real couriers or charging real payment methods.

Webhooks

Uber Direct and Uber Eats publish real-time event webhooks for delivery status, courier updates, shopping progress, refunds, and order lifecycle changes.

Courier Delivery Network

Uber Direct exposes Uber's on-demand courier network so merchants can quote, create, track, and manage last-mile deliveries from their own storefronts.

Marketplace Integration

Uber Eats Marketplace APIs let restaurants and POS partners synchronize stores, menus, and orders with the Uber Eats consumer marketplace in real time.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Examples 4

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

POS and online-ordering platforms integrate Uber Eats APIs to keep store hours, menus, pricing, and order status in sync between their systems and the Uber Eats marketplace.

Corporate Travel And Meals

Enterprises use Uber for Business and Vouchers to provision rides and meals for employees and guests with centralized billing, expense reporting, and policy controls.

Guest Ride Provisioning

Healthcare, hospitality, and service businesses use Guest Rides to request trips on behalf of customers who do not have an Uber account.
