Uber Ride API - Driver

We are busy looking at Uber Ride API and would like to find out the following:

  1. Is all_trips scope applicable if OAuth authorized user is an Uber driver?
  2. Will Webhook invoke events everytime when a driver accepts/cancels/completes a trips?
  3. will Webhook be invoked during a real trip while the app is under development or Only work in Sandbox?
Solution

    1. No. The all_trips scope only works for riders.

    2. Yes. Every trip status change triggers a webhook. Possible statuses changes are:

      • processing
      • no_drivers_available
      • accepted
      • arriving
      • in_progress
      • driver_canceled
      • rider_canceled
      • completed.

    (List pulled from here, according to the webhooks documentation here).

    1. Yes. If you grant your app the all_trips scope, the Uber API will send webhooks to the URL you have registered at developer.uber.com/dashboard for every trip you take, i.e. sandbox and real trips alike. Note that there is currently no way to flag an Uber app as "in development" or "in production".
