How to access the PARSE rest api?

I am using parse.com for the data side of my app. I am new to parse and angular, I was wondering how do i access my rest api, when i put the url in it asks for a username and password but which one?

Also is there a specific way to use the rest api?

Solution

  • You are looking for the REST API docs, which can be found here: http://docs.parseplatform.org/rest/guide/

    Go through the 'Getting Started' section, it lays out in excellent detail how to address the API and gives good examples.

    Regarding the login/pass, Parse requires you to create a User object in order to use the REST API; it's asking you for a User so the DB knows what level of access you have to various objects. (Parse uses ACLs, access control lists, for user security. ACLs are your friend, learn them.)

    Good luck in your new endeavor!
