Accessing Uber's data using API

[yw652]

Hi,
I'm working on a project that needs the information on all the trips and fares from 2010 til present. However the data seemed unaccessible without user's authorization and consent, and we could not send requests to every users of Uber in the past 5 years. I was wondering if there's other ways to access the data (make requests) without gaining users' consents.

I'm very new to API and developing an would love to learn more and hear more about it.

Thanks!
