Authentication

First use triggers OAuth authorization flow:

User is redirected to Uber to authorize
Tokens are stored encrypted per-user
Automatic refresh handles token expiration

No API key required — connector manages OAuth flow.

Usage Examples

Request a basic ride:

Get me an Uber from 123 Main St to SFO Airport

Compare ride options:

What's the fare estimate for an UberX vs Uber Black from downtown to the airport?

Schedule ahead:

Request an Uber to pick me up at my house tomorrow at 7am going to the train station

Error Handling

Use Cases
