How to access parse.com REST API after migrating to local server?

Question

I have been using parse as my project server and now that I have migrated the data to local server, successfully made dashboard work; but I cannot find a way to access api.parse.com/1/ API.

I used to use python to make REST requests and it is basically establishes socket connection with api.parse.com at port 443 . Now I am trying to connect to localhost at port 1337 which is where the parse-server instance is running. However, I have not been able to access the API same as before.

One thing to note is that I can successfully curl to get basic JSON response from requests like

curl -X GET -H ... http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/_User

The question is which connection now replaces api.parse.com for locally held parse-server instances?

Answer 1

Ahh I found out the answer:

You make socket connection with address and port where the parse-server is running, and then instead of doing

conn.request("GET", "/1/login?%s"%...)

You do:

conn.request("GET", "/parse/login?%s"%...)

Hope this helps.
