Getting started with Driver Management¶
The driver management endpoints will allow you to manage drivers and send driver events for bookings.
Note
You might not need to use all of our driver manager endpoints, some of them are intended for supply partners using the Booking.com Taxi Driver App.
| Endpoint | Booking.com Driver App | Own / 3rd Party Driver App |
|---|---|---|
| Assign Driver | ❌ | ✔ |
| Driver Events | ❌ | ✔ |
| Drivers | ✔ | ❌ |
| Driver ID | ✔ | ❌ |
| Driver Activation | ✔ | ❌ |
If you don't have your own driver app then you may use ours, see this guide on how to get started with the Booking.com Driver App.
Authentication¶
As our API payloads contain private data, communication between the Public API and our supply partner APIs must be secure. We use OAuth 2.0 to secure our API, and you'll need to implement the OAuth 2.0 authentication flow in order to manage drivers & send driver events - without doing this, you won't be able to access our API.
