Uber Sandbox Api request scope

Question

I am currently making a Simple Application that helps to book uber cabs. I need to test the ride request feature, hence I am using Sandbox API. However, as my app is not yet ready for production I cannot have the request scope. Whenever I send a request call to the Sandbox API all I get is this error

{ "message": "Missing scope: request", "code": "unauthorized" }

How do I get the access to make test calls? My app is not yet ready for production to apply for real API. Please Help.

Thanks in Advance.

In order to create ride requests in your app, you still need to authorize the application with the request scope. However, you will be granted with limited access unless you specifically request the full access, as outlined in the Developer Dashboard:

In other words, the app you created will not create real ride requests until you are approved for the full access. Therefore, you can extend your OAuth scopes and include request. After that, issue a POST /v1/requests. You will now have a mocked ride request and you can apply the sandbox methods (e.g. PUT) using the mock request_id.
