Taxicode API Documentation

Welcome to the Taxicode API

The Taxicode API is a collction of HTTP interfaces to Taxicode services we are opening up to the wider developer platform so that other business can benefit from our vast national taxi company directory and pricing engine.

The main elements of our API are the ability to get quotes, book journeys and perform actions related to the booking made by your application or by authenticated Taxicode users.

Our API is in active developement so if you have any problems or want to suggest a new feature we're always willing to discus with you the options and we'll always endevour to meet your needs if possible. If you wish to contact us, Click Here.

By using the Taxicode API, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions.

Overview

This section will provide a brief overview of our API and how it works.

Global Parameters

Any API call can specify the following parameters:

Parameter Type Description Value Default
format
optional
GET The format parameter specifies the format that the data response will be sent back in. json, xml, pre, vardump or serialized json
callback
optional
GET If you are requesting json as the data type and wish the data to be sent as jsonp, please specify a callback function and we will wrap the json in that function. String -
encrypted
optional
GET An encrypted JSON string containing data you wish to send to us as POST data. It will be treated as POST data once decrypted on our server. Data should be encrypted using RSA encryption with the public key you can obtain with the Auth API. String -
key
required
GET/POST Your API key. This is used to verify the source of the API call. All API calls require the API key and some have additional functionality when it it provided. The max length of this should be 32 characters. Please contact us if you need to discuss this. String -
sub_affiliate
optional
GET/POST A sub affiliate ID that you provide to your customers if you are repackaging our API to your affiliates. String -

Auth API

The Auth API is used to retrieve a public key that can be used to encrypt post data to other API services.

It's primary use is to send encrypted data that you'd normally be able to send via a POST request to our server, but can't because of a limitation on sending POST data such as using jsonp. Once a public key is required you will need to have the ability to do RSA encryption using your public key.

Here are some libraries we're aware of. If you know of any others for different languages please let us know.

Language Library / Function
PHP openssl_public_encrypt
JavaScript https://github.com/ziyan/javascript-rsa

The next step is to convert the data you wish to POST to us via jsonp. Convert the object/array to a json string. Run your encrypt function on the json string. Send a GET variable to the API call you are making with the parameter encrypted=YOUR_ENCRYPTED_JSON_STRING. Our server will decrypt the string with our private key and then treat the json object as POST data.

Booking API

The Booking API allows you to request a quote for a journey and then pay for that journey.

Booking Quote

Quote Request

https://api.taxicode.com/booking/quote/
Parameter Type Description Values Default
pickup GET/POST The pickup location. An address string that can be identified by Google Places API.

Latitude and longitude need to be separated by a comma. String -
vias
optional
GET/POST The vias location. An address string that can be identified by Google Places API.

Latitude and longitude need to be separated by a comma. String -
destination GET/POST The destination location. An address string that can be identified by Google Places API. Taxicode API also accepts the use of latitude and longitude as a value but should only be used as a fallback in the case the destination address string fails to return results. Latitude and longitude need to be separated by a comma. String -
date GET/POST The date and time of the journey as a UNIX timestamp. UNIX Timestamp -
return
optional
GET/POST The date and time of the return journey as a UNIX timestamp. False if no return journey. If quote_type is set as hourly, return parameter should be omitted from the request. UNIX Timestamp false
people
optional
GET/POST The number of people the journey is being booked for. Integer (1-30) 1
key
required
GET/POST Your API key. This is used to apply any uplift you have attached to your API account. String -

split
optional
GET/POST Should companies be split into multiple results for different vehicle types. Vehicle types are standard, executive and minibuses. Boolean false
hours
optional

optional
GET/POST Other rates from other services to include as a comma separated list. Example: other_rates=blackcab,uber
Currently we only support blackcab and uber, but we will look to add more in the future. They will only be returned if they apply. In the case of Uber and Black Cabs, this means they only apply for journeys that take place in London.
String false
company
optional
GET/POST This will limit results to only show results for a certain company ID.

GET/POST This will limit results to only show results for a certain instance IDs. This will return a price for this instance even if they wouldn't normally do this job so be careful when using this as jobs that aren't near the instance specified are likely to be cancelled.

ERROR If there was an error and no quotes returned.
warning String If status is WARNING this will contain the warning message.
error String If status is ERROR this will contain the error message.
journey_id String The ID of the journey. Can be used to look up journey after it's been booked (stored for 1 month after booking made). This is mainly used to with the booking/journey API function to refill a users form if you don't have it stored.
payment_url String The URL to send the user to if you are not handling the payment yourself. This url needs the quote being booked appened to it followed by any other variable.

Example: https://secure.taxicode.com/api/QUOTE_ID/?callback=http://www.example.com&v=1&key=YOUR_API_KEY

journey Object
quotes false No quotes found
Object
Object containing Quote IDs as the keys and Quote Objects as values.
other_rates Array An array of Objects if other_rates is set, this will include the rates we were able to calculate with the rate type as the key and the details inside an object. Example rate:
card Array An array of card objects that are supported for payment and what the card fee is if applicable. This is used to show customers what they will be paying if they select to pay by card.

Affiliate Payment Due

If you are an authorised payment handler you will be due to make payments for bookings made through our API once the provider has confirmed the job was completed. We will contact you weekly to confirm the bookings that need to be paid, but you can use this API call to look up the current amount due. This will also help you automate this process. You will still need to email accounts@web3r.co.uk once you have paid with a list of booking references you have paid.
