How to get the actual drop location(not the destination) of a Uber Ride via API, after the ride completes?

I can see the my actual drop location on the receipts page on riders.uber.com, but do not see that data in requests/{request_id}/receipt/ end point of the API. Is there an alternative to get this data ?

I see that a GET on requests/{request_id}/ gives the actual location of the a ride, but does this point also gives the same data on ride completion/cancellation ? On sandbox-api, on completion of ride, I get location as null, on a GET requests/{request_id}/ call

The Uber API doesn't expose this information. It provides the destination of a trip in the request details, but it does not update the destination based on the actual drop-off location.

As pointed out in the comments, ONE partial alternative for this use case might be to use the request details array of waypoints. However, it is only available for shared rides like UberPOOL.
