You are missing the start script from the package.json file:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node index.js"
 }

Or simply do node index.js without npm.

hello #Iulianvarzaru sir,
its not working...
i am using parse-server-master not parse-server-example.
when i use parse-server-example then i got error---

DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost.
parse-server-example running on port 1337.

and in browser--
{"error":"unauthorized"}

so plz help ..

Actually it's working but you have to put your application Id as a header in the request. Try:

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: myAppId" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"score":1337,"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false}' \
  http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/GameScore

#Iulianvarzaru

DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost.
parse-server-example running on port 1337.

In browser, if I go to "localhost:1337/parse", it gives me the following error. (localhost:1337 is fine)

{"error":"unauthorized"}

And this is my API setup. I did provide databaseURI but don't know why it is complaining that it is not specified.
var api = new ParseServer({
databaseURI: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/dev',
appId: 'xxx',
masterKey: 'yyy'
});

[singh7889]

curl -X GET
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: XXX"
-H "X-Parse-Master-Key: YYYY"
http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/_User

we got error :---

Failed to connect to localhost port 1337: Connection refused, is mongodb running on your server ?

[singh7889]

Yes , I got data in cmd but in browser i got error--
url:-http://localhost:1337/parse/
display- {"error":"unauthorized"}

{"error":"unauthorized"} is thrown only when you don't provide the header keys inside your request. If you didn't setup any other keys like restApiKey or javascriptkey you just need to include your application id in the header. Maybe post here your server file so I can look into it.

I am getting this error too "DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost". Where do I put the damn URI. Can anyone help please?

This is not an error, it just says that there is no environment variable DATABASE_URI and that it's using the url from the server file.

[vineetbindal]

I Understand. But where do I put that variable. I tried in app.json. index.js and scalingo.json. none worked.

index.js have this

var api = new ParseServer({
//databaseURI: databaseUri || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/dev',
databaseURI: databaseUri || 'mongodb://userName:Password@ds059165.mongolab.com:59165/parse_appDatabase',
cloud: process.env.CLOUD_CODE_MAIN || __dirname + '/cloud/main.js',
appId: process.env.APP_ID || 'myAppKey',
masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY || 'myMasterKey' //Add your master key here. Keep it secret!
});
