This project is an RShiny Web Application that I developed for the RStudio Shiny Contest. The application itself explores my Uber Data.
The shinyapp is viewable on https://vivekkatial.shinyapps.io/uber_shiny/
This data was requested from UBER and you can request your data from Uber on the following [link] (https://help.uber.com/riders/article/download-your-data?nodeId=2c86900d-8408-4bac-b92a-956d793acd11). To produce the trips plot, it was necessary to get the points between that lat and long of each source and destination coordinates. To do this, I used the Google Maps API to request the lat/long for all the points on the route. As such, the plot for each trip is a proxy and not the actual path taken. Currently, this data is not available from UBER.
Please check the utils/setup.R and utils/get_routes.R scripts.
This web application is written using the R Shiny web framework/R package. It demonstrates the of HTMLTemplates to render beautiful looking applications using R Shiny.
The theme used in this app is Glint.
The development time, including concept design, API research, data preparation, cleaning and application development took less than 20 hours.
The app is deployed through RStudio's webservice shinyapps.io. Additionally, the app is published on RStudio Cloud which provides a complete development environment of the project.
You will also need your own Google API Token and Uber Credentials to collect the data required.
