Uber is Science Fiction Archivesopening up a new API to developers — this time focused on drivers.

The ride-hailing company has created a new way to let developers pull information about Uber drivers: Their profile data, trip data and data on their earnings, to start.

"With demand for flexible, on-demand work on the rise, we also see an extraordinary opportunity for developers," wrote Chris Saad, head of product for the Uber developer platform, wrote in a blog post Wednesday. "By leveraging driver profile data, trip data, earnings, and more, developers can create new apps and services that make driving with Uber more productive and fun."

An API, or application programming interface, allows developers to take data from Uber and use it to create other apps and services incorporating that information.
