Want to manage mongoldb user on CodeIgniter using Parse Rest API - php

Question

Database: Mongodb
Backend Framework: CodeIgniter
Want to manage default User table from backend. I am using ParseRestAPI but as you all know Mongodb does not allow to update user without session. So is there any way i can manage users created by App and delete/create new users.

Answer 1

Yes you can do that with the Parse Rest API
For exmaple to delete a user:
Use the DELETE http verb and call something like that:
Note: You need to pass the Session Token or Master Key
curl -X DELETE \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: YOURAPPID" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: YOURAPIKEY" \
-H "X-Parse-Session-Token: SESSIONTOKEN" \
-H "X-Parse-Master-Key: YOURMASTERKEY" \
https://api.example.com/1/users/<objectId>
In php you can write:
$ch = curl_init('https://api.example.com/1/users/<objectId>');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'X-Parse-Application-Id: YOURAPPID',
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key: YOURAPIKEY',
'X-Parse-Master-Key: YOURMASTERKEY'
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
To create a user call the API like that (I use curl for example)
curl -X POST \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: YOUAPPID" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: YOURAPIKEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "objectId": "", "updatedAt": "", "createdAt": "", "name": "John Doe", "pass": "toto42" }' \
