The Uber for Business API supports OAuth 2.0. We support both the client_credentials grant type and authorization_code type.

¶ Token - Client credentials

To generate a client credentials token, retrieve your client_id and client_secret for your app from the developer dashboard and see the example below. Note this endpoint expects requests to be encoded as application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data.

¶ Example Request

curl
  -X POST
  -F "client_id=<CLIENT_ID>" \
  -F "client_secret=<CLIENT_SECRET>" \
  -F "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -F "scope=SPACE_DELIMITED_LIST_OF_SCOPES" \
  "https://auth.uber.com/oauth/v2/token"

¶ Example Response

{
    "access_token": "xxx",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "expires_in": 2592000,
    "refresh_token": "xxx",
    "scope": "profile history"
}

¶ Token - Authentication Code

To generate a client credentials token, retrieve your client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri and authorization_code for your app from the developer dashboard and see the example below. Note this endpoint expects requests to be encoded as application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data.

¶ Example Request

curl -F 'client_secret=<CLIENT_SECRET>' \
    -F 'client_id=<CLIENT_ID>' \
    -F 'grant_type=authorization_code' \
    -F 'redirect_uri=<REDIRECT_URI>' \
    -F 'scope=profile' \
    -F 'code=<AUTHORIZATION_CODE>' \
    https://auth.uber.com/oauth/v2/token

¶ Example Response

{
	"access_token":"JA.VUNmGAAAAA...NGNmOGUxOTZlZQ",
	"token_type":"Bearer",
	"expires_in":2592000,
	"scope":"organizations.voucher_programs"
}
