Apps and their data APIs in United Arab Emirates
The UAE's super-app economy: ride-hailing, delivery and payments across the Gulf, and the endpoints that power them.
The UAE's super-app economy shows up here from the driver's seat. Careem Captain documents the courier-facing API behind Careem's map, earnings and wallet screens: a wallet plus cash-on-hand status with warning and blocking limits, and an earnings aggregation splitting tripEarnings, tips, bonuses and fines.
Payout methods carry IBAN and nationalId, per-job step marks and cash-paid confirmations track each booking, and an acceptance-rate KPI gates how many offers a Captain can reject — the full settlement loop behind the Gulf super-app's driver payouts.
