Unfortunately, the ability to truly replicate the Uber apps is unavailable in the completely open API in that you cannot order rides.

Ah, looks like I'll be sticking with my current approach for now then.

Mike here, from the Uber API team. The Request A Ride endpoint is currently only available on a whitelist basis. We'd love to hear your ideas on the integration if you'd like to share them with us!

Hey Mike! I had an idea for using the Uber Request A Ride endpoint for an app/site to allow bars/clubs to use Uber for getting impaired drivers home (ordering a ride for them). Would this be grounds for whitelisting?

Hi Mike, thanks for replying - not sure of the best way to contact you, but my email address is in my profile if you'd like to get in touch.

FYI, the e-mail field on Hacker News is hidden (you should add it to the about text if you want people to see it.)

Awesome. Might be user error on my part but I do not see your email address. Send a message to developer[at]uber.com and we can chat.
