Uber Rides Node.js Wrapper

This projects helps you to make HTTP requests to the Uber Rides API.

Installation

Before you begin, you need to register your app in the Uber developer dashboard. Notice that the app gets a client ID, secret, and server token required for authenticating with the API.

After registering your application, you need to install this module in your Node.js project:

npm install node-uber

Initialization

In order to use this module, you have to import it in your application first:

var Uber = require('node-uber');

Next, initialize the Uber object with the keys you obtained from the Uber developer dashboard:

var uber = new Uber({
  client_id: 'CLIENT_ID',
  client_secret: 'CLIENT_SECRET',
  server_token: 'SERVER_TOKEN',
  redirect_uri: 'REDIRECT URL',
  name: 'APP_NAME',
  language: 'en_US', // optional, defaults to en_US
  sandbox: true, // optional, defaults to false
  proxy: 'PROXY URL' // optional, defaults to none
});

Note: For all available language options check out the Localization page of the API.

Authenticating

To make HTTP calls, you need to create an authenticated session with the API. User-specific operations require you to use a OAuth 2 bearer token with specific scopes. Jump to the method overview section to identify required scopes for methods. General operations can use a simple server-token authentication.

Step one: Authorize

To obtain an OAuth 2 bearer token, you have to authorize your application with the required scope. Available scopes are: history, history_lite, profile, request, all_trips, and places.

To do so, you are initially required to redirect your user to an authorization URL. You can generate the authorization URL using uber.getAuthorizeUrl. In case you are using Express, your route definition could look as follows:

app.get('/api/login', function(request, response) {
  var url = uber.getAuthorizeUrl(['history','profile', 'request', 'places']);
  response.redirect(url);
});

The URL will lead to a page where your user will be required to login and approve access to his/her Uber account. In case that step was successful, Uber will issue an HTTP 302 redirect to the redirect_uri defined in the Uber developer dashboard. On that redirect, you will receive an authorization code, which is single use and expires in 10 minutes.

Step two: Receive redirect and get an access token

To complete the authorization you now need to receive the callback and convert the given authorization code into an OAuth access token. You can accomplish that using uber.authorizationAsync. This method will retrieve and store the access_token, refresh_token, authorized scopes, and token expiration date within the uber object for consecutive requests.

Using Express, you could achieve that as follows:

 app.get('/api/callback', function(request, response) {
    uber.authorizationAsync({authorization_code: request.query.code})
    .spread(function(access_token, refresh_token, authorizedScopes, tokenExpiration) {
      // store the user id and associated access_token, refresh_token, scopes and token expiration date
      console.log('New access_token retrieved: ' + access_token);
      console.log('... token allows access to scopes: ' + authorizedScopes);
      console.log('... token is valid until: ' + tokenExpiration);
      console.log('... after token expiration, re-authorize using refresh_token: ' + refresh_token);

      // redirect the user back to your actual app
      response.redirect('/web/index.html');
    })
    .error(function(err) {
      console.error(err);
    });
});

Step three: Make HTTP requests to available resources

Now that you are authenticated, you can issue requests using provided methods.

For instance, to obtain a list of available Uber products for a specific location, you can use uber.products.getAllForLocationAsync.

In case you are using Express, your route definition could look as follows:

app.get('/api/products', function(request, response) {
  // extract the query from the request URL
  var query = url.parse(request.url, true).query;

  // if no query params sent, respond with Bad Request
  if (!query || !query.lat || !query.lng) {
    response.sendStatus(400);
  } else {
    uber.products.getAllForLocationAsync(query.lat, query.lng)
    .then(function(res) {
        response.json(res);
    })
    .error(function(err) {
      console.error(err);
      response.sendStatus(500);
    });
  }
});

Optional: Revoke user access (token)

If your users decide to disconnect or revoke access to their Uber accounts, you can use the uber.revokeTokenAsync method. This will invalidate either access_token or refresh_token. Note that per RFC7009, revoke will return success for any string you pass into the function provided the client_id and client_secret are correct. This includes previously revoked tokens and invalid tokens.

uber.revokeTokenAsync('My_access_token');

uber.getAuthorizeUrl(['history','profile', 'request', 'places']);

Authorize

Used to convert authorization code or refresh token into access token.

uber.authorizationAsync(parameter);
Parameter
