Header name	Description
x-uber-organizationuuid	An U4B organization UUID under which you need to obtain estimate information.
x-uber-sandbox-runuuid	Run UUID of the run you created using create run endpoint in sandbox. Used when fetching estimate against a given sandbox run ID. [Required for sandbox estimate API calls]
Accept-Language	Affects the language of the value for product.short_description field. If translation for product description are needed in the response of this call, please add the header Accept-Language and specify the value (for example, to translate to French, use “FR” as the value for this header) Defaults to ‘en’.

¶ Request body parameters

Field	Type	Description
pickup.latitude	float	Latitude of the starting location of the trip (required).
pickup.longitude	float	Longitude of the starting location of the trip (required).
dropoff.latitude	float	Latitude of the end location of the trip (required).
dropoff.longitude	float	Longitude of the end location of the trip (required).
scheduling.pickup_time	int	The timestamp (in milliseconds) the request is scheduled for (optional).
scheduling.dropoff_time	int	The timestamp (in milliseconds) the request is scheduled for (optional).
deferred_ride_options.pickup_day	string	This is used for a flexible trip type. The pickup day (YYYY-MM-DD) the request is set up for (optional).
waypoints	object	An array of objects containing the location of the trip’s intermediate stops. Does not include pickup and dropoff (optional).

If both scheduling.pickup_time and deferred_ride_options.pickup_day are blank, the estimate will be for an on-demand ride.

Scheduling requires one of the two fields: pickup_time or dropoff_time. Use scheduling.pickup_time to get an estimate for a trip at that specified time. Use scheduling.dropoff_time to get an estimate for a trip at that specified time based on a predicted pickup_time.

Use deferred_ride_options.pickup_day to get an estimate for a trip where the user picks the ride time on a set day.

¶ waypoints object parameters Back to top

Name	Type	Description
waypoints.latitude	float	The latitude of the intermediate stop (required).
waypoints.longitude	float	The longitude of the intermediate stop (required).
waypoints.address	string	The intermediate stop complete address (optional).
waypoints.place.place_id	string	The place id in provider’s namespace (optional).
waypoints.place.provider	string	The name of a provider of a location data (optional).

¶ When fare estimates are unavailable

In rare scenarios, it’s possible for fare estimates to be temporarily unavailable.

This results in a 200 response with fares_unavailable set to true and within each product_estimate.estimate_info, the fare and estimate will both be null (as well as the fare_id and trip.duration_estimate).

Hence, developers should handle this case to avoid any potential nil dereferences or unexpected errors.

Rides can still be requested without any of those fields, as the fare_id is not strictly required.

Sometimes, a product will have "no_cars_available": true. This means that this product type is not currently available for the given coordinates and a trip may not be fulfilled.
