Overview
The Grab API allows developers to integrate Grab services — including ride-hailing, food delivery, and payments — into their own applications across Southeast Asia. It uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, which requires setting up a partner account with Grab. This API is best suited for businesses in Southeast Asia looking to embed Grab services into their platforms.
Beginner Tip
You need a Grab Developer account and approved OAuth 2.0 credentials to use this API — individual hobby use is not supported. Start with the Grab Partner Programme at https://developer.grab.com/ and test with the sandbox environment before going live.

const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {

}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
