Apps will be able to do things like send an address to Uber's own app, as well as display pickup times, provide fare estimates, and more.</p> <!--break--> <p>You will even be able to request a ride within some apps, though this feature is rolling out in a limited fashion, according to Uber (http://blog.uber.com/api):</p>

<p>What about requesting a ride? Yes, we've implemented that endpoint as well, but because calling it immediately dispatches a real driver in the real world, we're releasing it in a more controlled fashion, starting with a small set of partners. Stay tuned for more on that, and please let us know if you're interested in being added to the whitelist.</p>

<p>Uber has already partnered with companies like OpenTable, Hyatt Hotels &amp; Resorts, and United Airlines. Certain partners are even offering customers money off on their next ride.</p> <p>The API is available now for developers now. What apps would you like to see integrating the Uber API? Let us know below in the comments.</p> <p>Source: Uber (http://blog.uber.com/api)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26437"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3db05611/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
