Ride request widget: Trip information for rides booked through my application is unavailable


My app does not have access to any privileged scopes but it does access ride_widgets scope. In it, it is clearly mentioned "Includes access to trip information for rides you request through the app and the current ride,...". So from where do I get access to this trip information (specifically Ride ID)?

The problem I am facing is while accessing the user's history, my app cant differentiate which among them was done through my app. The only unique identifier in it is request_id/Ride ID but while that trip happened, the ride request view is completely shielding my app from any details about the ongoing trip except those which my app provided (like start location, latitude etc)

Is it meant to be like this or am I missing something?


Solution

  • It is not currently possible with the Ride Request widget. The best way to find an in progress request id would require using the privileged request scope and the /requests/current endpoint.
