This is a Ruby Gem for the uber.com API. It should simplify the process of consuming data from the Uber API for developers using Ruby.
Add following to your application Gemfile
gem 'ubercar'
Then execute
$ bundle install
Or install it just like that
$ gem install ubercar
It's pretty straightforward. Sample script using UberCars API:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'ubercar'
require 'ap'
CFG_CLIENT_ID = '-banana'
CFG_SERVER_TOKEN = 'z1FXM8272irpotatO'
CFG_SECRET = 'B6fzcg4WminionsehnPUr075'
client = UberCar::Client.new({ app_user_key: CFG_CLIENT_ID, app_user_secret: CFG_SECRET, app_server_token: CFG_SERVER_TOKEN, api_host: 'https://api.uber.com/v1' })
result = client.show_products(:latitude => '51.512555', :longitude => '-0.127716')
ap result
result = client.estimate_price(:start_latitude => '51.5107835', :start_longitude => '-0.1167915', :end_latitude => '51.5024782', :end_longitude => '-0.1003484')
ap result
result = client.estimate_time(:start_latitude => '51.512555', :start_longitude => '-0.127716')
# estimate_time can be used with :customer_uuid and product_id for further customization
ap result
result = client.promotions(:start_latitude => '51.5107835', :start_longitude => '-0.1167915', :end_latitude => '51.5024782', :end_longitude => '-0.1003484')
ap result
# returns sign up URL. You can fill up all the fields ( check Uber API documentation )
result = client.sign_up()
ap result
And its output:
