Authentication error while accessing Uber APIs

Question

I wanted to use Uber APIs so that i can book cabs on the behalf of user. I have provided all the details required in Uber developer dashboard.This is my request "https://api.uber.com/v1.2/requests", and in body i'm sending three parameters(Authorization,Accept-Language and Content-Type) but while requesting it's showing this message:

{ "message": "Invalid OAuth 2.0 credentials provided.", "code": "unauthorized" }

Answer 1

You are setting three headers, but how do you set them? Assuming you already obtained an access_token for your user, here's how you can make an authorized API call to /v1.2/requests:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
     '{"product_id": "-", "start_latitude":"-", "start_longitude": "-", "end_latitude":"-", "end_longitude": "-", "seat_count": "-", "fare_id":"-"}' \
     https://api.uber.com/v1.2/requests

Based on your question, I would also suggest to follow this tutorial for more clarity. It guides you through the process of obtaining an access_token and making a ride request.
