Precedence in error responses when requesting ride

Is there any error precedence when requesting ride? If so, is it defined somewhere in the API documentation?

For example, what error would be returned in this particular situation, if user tries to request ride:

  • User is already on an existing trip
  • Surge pricing is in effect for request product

I would expect error with code current_trip_exists to take precedence over surge error in this particular situation. That is the case when testing in sandbox.

Solution

  • There is not currently documentation on error precedence for the Uber API on developer.uber.com. Thank you for this feedback. At this time this is not a priority for the API but these edge cases are interesting and may be something to define in the future.
