Why doesn't Uber Rides Python SDK (API v1.2) client.estimate_ride upfront fare match ride_receipt's total_fare?
- Doesn't factor in a minimum UberPool price when present.
- Display price $4.80 vs subtotal $5.45, despite pickup and destination not changing
Example where UberPool had a $7 minimum:
client.estimate_ride returned
u'price': {
u'display': u'$4.80',
u'fare_breakdown': [],
u'fare_id': u'REMOVED BY OP',
u'high_estimate': 7,
u'low_estimate': 4,
u'minimum': None},
u'product_id': u'ee3ab307-e340-4406-b5ec-9f8c3b43075a',
8 second later, I requested a ride using client.request_ride, with product_id & fare_id included. The ride_receipt shows there was a minimum fare.
