Is it possible to discover the kind of vehicle a ride was completed with from the Uber API?

As the title: I'd like to be able to access a specific ride for the signed-in user and know if the vehicle in question was a Prius, Ford Galaxy, E-Class, or whatever. I don't see this in the documentation for the Riders or Rides API - is there any way to get the information?

Yes. You can get the Make, Model, and even license plate from the Uber API by looking at the current trips (You would just have to filter for a status of completed):

https://developer.uber.com/docs/riders/references/api/v1.2/requests-request_id-get

The response includes details of the vehicle:

"vehicle": {
    "make": "Bugatti",
    "model": "Veyron",
    "license_plate": "I<3Uber",
    "picture_url": "https:\/\/d1w2poirtb3as9.cloudfront.net\/car.jpeg"
  }

Note that retrieving this data for rides requested by an app other than your own (i.e. for any rider) requires FULL ACCESS scope for your app:

Privileged Scope This endpoint requires a privileged scope to be used in production by all Uber riders. You can use this endpoint immediately when authenticated as yourself or any of your 5 registered developers. When you are ready to distribute your application broadly for use by all Uber riders, you may request FULL ACCESS. For more information read about scopes.
