Uber update API to allow third party developers to integrate intact within applications

According to VentureBeat, Uber updated its API on 17th to launch a service called "Request endpoints". With this feature, third party developers can "integrate the full Uber experience" within their own applications.

Last August, Uber opened the API to a third party app and expanded the Uber usage scenario. But at that time the open permission can only do to Uber application to send destinations, viewing the history of travel, estimated transfer time and other functions, there are still some limitations.

This time, Uber further upgraded the API permissions, the passengers who are using a certain app can use the full Uber service directly in the app, without the need to jump, they will stay longer in the app.

For Uber, this is an excellent marketing opportunity. Uber will eventually turn into a platform for other services to deliver people and goods, and Uber services will extend to all areas of life.

In order to get more developers, Uber is hosting an online hacking marathon, chaired by Uber's managers and engineers, who will be given the chance to meet Uber CEO Trivis.
