## Introduction

Clearly, I'm a lazy person (just look at what this tool does - it helps me

figure out if I should order *a car to pick me up and drive me to where I want to go*).

That being said, as a lazy person it pains me everytime open my phone,

open the Uber app, type my destination, and see the estimated price, only for

my inner, responsible, cost-cutting, fiduciary-self to end up taking the bus

all the way home.

I think we can all agree that it would be much more efficient to simply be disappointed

before I open my phone at all.

## Install via NPM

```bash

npm install uber-cli -g

```

## Usage

### Get Time-To-Pickup Estimates

```bash

uber time 'pickup address here'

```

### Get Price Estimates

```bash

uber price -s 'start address' -e 'end address'

```

## A Note On Address Identification

So the [Uber API identifies time](https://developer.uber.com/docs/riders/references/api/v1.2/estimates-time-get) and price estimates based on a coordinate and not an address. In order to support those

that don't know their exact coordinates at any given time, I'm using the [Google Maps Geocoding API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro) to identify coordinates based on an input address.
