Class: Parse::Client

Overview

This class is the core and low level API for the Parse SDK REST interface that is used by the other components. It can manage multiple sessions, which means you can have multiple client instances pointing to different Parse Applications at the same time. It handles sending raw requests as well as providing Request/Response objects for all API handlers. The connection engine is Faraday, which means it is open to add any additional middleware for features you'd like to implement.

Constructor Details

#initialize(opts = {}) ⇒ Client

Create a new client connected to the Parse Server REST API endpoint.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    a set of connection options to configure the client.

Options Hash (opts):

  • :server_url (String)

    The server url of your Parse Server if you are not using the hosted Parse service. By default it will use ENV["PARSE_SERVER_URL"] if available, otherwise fallback to Protocol::SERVER_URL.

  • :app_id (String)

    The Parse application id. Defaults to ENV['PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID'].

  • :api_key (String)

    Your Parse REST API Key. Defaults to ENV['PARSE_SERVER_REST_API_KEY'].

  • :master_key (String)

    The Parse application master key (optional). If this key is set, it will be sent on every request sent by the client and your models. Defaults to ENV['PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY'].

  • :session_token (String)

    An optional session token bound to this client. When set, every request that does not pass an explicit session_token: / use_master_key: true and is not inside a Parse.with_session block sends this token (and suppresses the master key), so the client transparently acts as that user. Precedence is explicit per-call > Parse.with_session ambient > this bound token. Typically paired with master_key: nil to build a user-scoped client (see Webhooks::Payload#user_client).

  • :logging (Boolean, Symbol)

    Controls request/response logging.

    • true - Enable logging at :info level
    • :debug - Enable verbose logging with headers and body content
    • :warn - Only log errors and warnings
    • false or nil - Disable logging (default) This configures both the new Middleware::Logging middleware and the legacy Middleware::BodyBuilder logging.
  • :logger (Logger)

    A custom logger instance for request/response logging. Defaults to Logger.new(STDOUT) if not specified.

  • :adapter (Object)

    The connection adapter. By default it uses :net_http_persistent for connection pooling. Set connection_pooling: false to use the standard Faraday.default_adapter (Net/HTTP) instead.

  • :connection_pooling (Boolean, Hash)

    Controls HTTP connection pooling. Defaults to true, using the :net_http_persistent adapter for improved performance through connection reuse. Set to false to disable pooling and create a new connection for each request. This option is ignored if :adapter is explicitly specified. Pass a Hash to enable pooling with custom configuration:

    • :pool_size [Integer] - Number of connections per thread (default: 1)
    • :idle_timeout [Integer] - Seconds before closing idle connections (default: 5)
    • :keep_alive [Integer] - HTTP Keep-Alive timeout in seconds @example Custom connection pooling Parse.setup( connection_pooling: { pool_size: 5, idle_timeout: 60, keep_alive: 60 } )
  • :cache (Moneta::Transformer, Moneta::Expires, Parse::Cache::Redis, String)

    A caching adapter of type Moneta::Transformer or Moneta::Expires that will be used by the caching middleware Middleware::Caching. You can also pass a redis:// URL string (an internal Moneta-Redis store will be built for you) or a Parse::Cache::Redis wrapper, which adds a connection pool and automatic namespace forwarding. Caching queries and object fetches can help improve the performance of your application, even if it is for a few seconds. Only successful GET object fetches and non-empty result queries will be cached by default. You may set the default expiration time with the expires option. At any point in time you may clear the cache by calling the #clear_cache! method on the client connection. See Moneta.

  • :expires (Integer)

    Sets the default cache expiration time (in seconds) for successful non-empty GET requests when using the caching middleware. The default value is 3 seconds. If :expires is set to 0, caching will be disabled. You can always clear the current state of the cache using the clear_cache! method on your Parse::Client instance.

  • :cache_namespace (String)

    Optional prefix applied to every cache key. Useful when two Parse apps share one Redis instance and would otherwise collide on identical paths (e.g. mk:/classes/Song/abc). Keys become <namespace>:<existing-prefix>:<url>, so a SCAN <namespace>:* evicts a whole app cleanly. Defaults to no namespace for backward compatibility — explicit only, never auto-derived from app_id.

  • :faraday (Hash)

    You may pass a hash of options that will be passed to the Faraday constructor.

  • :live_query_url (String)

    The WebSocket URL for Parse LiveQuery server (e.g., "wss://your-parse-server.com"). If not specified, falls back to ENV["PARSE_LIVE_QUERY_URL"]. LiveQuery enables real-time subscriptions to changes in Parse objects. @example Enable LiveQuery Parse.setup( server_url: "https://your-server.com/parse", application_id: "YOUR_APP_ID", api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY", live_query_url: "wss://your-server.com" )

  • :live_query (Hash)

    Advanced LiveQuery configuration options. Pass a hash with custom settings for the LiveQuery client.

    • :url [String] - WebSocket URL (alternative to :live_query_url)
    • :auto_reconnect [Boolean] - Auto-reconnect on disconnect (default: true)

Raises:

  • Parse::Error::ConnectionError if the client was not properly configured with required keys or url.

  • ArgumentError if the cache instance passed to the :cache option is not of Moneta::Transformer or Moneta::Expires

  • :api_key (String)

    Your Parse REST API Key. Defaults to ENV['PARSE_SERVER_REST_API_KEY'].

  • :master_key (String)

    The Parse application master key (optional). If this key is set, it will be sent on every request sent by the client and your models. Defaults to ENV['PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY'].

  • :session_token (String)

    An optional session token bound to this client. When set, every request that does not pass an explicit session_token: / use_master_key: true and is not inside a Parse.with_session block sends this token (and suppresses the master key), so the client transparently acts as that user. Precedence is explicit per-call > Parse.with_session ambient > this bound token. Typically paired with master_key: nil to build a user-scoped client (see Webhooks::Payload#user_client).

  • :logging (Boolean, Symbol)

    Controls request/response logging.

    • true - Enable logging at :info level
    • :debug - Enable verbose logging with headers and body content
    • :warn - Only log errors and warnings
    • false or nil - Disable logging (default) This configures both the new Middleware::Logging middleware and the legacy Middleware::BodyBuilder logging.
  • :logger (Logger)

    A custom logger instance for request/response logging. Defaults to Logger.new(STDOUT) if not specified.

  • :adapter (Object)

    The connection adapter. By default it uses :net_http_persistent for connection pooling. Set connection_pooling: false to use the standard Faraday.default_adapter (Net/HTTP) instead.

  • :connection_pooling (Boolean, Hash)

    Controls HTTP connection pooling. Defaults to true, using the :net_http_persistent adapter for improved performance through connection reuse. Set to false to disable pooling and create a new connection for each request. This option is ignored if :adapter is explicitly specified. Pass a Hash to enable pooling with custom configuration:

    • :pool_size [Integer] - Number of connections per thread (default: 1)
    • :idle_timeout [Integer] - Seconds before closing idle connections (default: 5)
    • :keep_alive [Integer] - HTTP Keep-Alive timeout in seconds @example Custom connection pooling Parse.setup( connection_pooling: { pool_size: 5, idle_timeout: 60, keep_alive: 60 } )
  • :cache (Moneta::Transformer, Moneta::Expires, Parse::Cache::Redis, String)

    A caching adapter of type Moneta::Transformer or Moneta::Expires that will be used by the caching middleware Middleware::Caching. You can also pass a redis:// URL string (an internal Moneta-Redis store will be built for you) or a Parse::Cache::Redis wrapper, which adds a connection pool and automatic namespace forwarding. Caching queries and object fetches can help improve the performance of your application, even if it is for a few seconds. Only successful GET object fetches and non-empty result queries will be cached by default. You may set the default expiration time with the expires option. At any point in time you may clear the cache by calling the #clear_cache! method on the client connection. See Moneta.

  • :expires (Integer)

    Sets the default cache expiration time (in seconds) for successful non-empty GET requests when using the caching middleware. The default value is 3 seconds. If :expires is set to 0, caching will be disabled. You can always clear the current state of the cache using the clear_cache! method on your Parse::Client instance.

  • :cache_namespace (String)

    Optional prefix applied to every cache key. Useful when two Parse apps share one Redis instance and would otherwise collide on identical paths (e.g. mk:/classes/Song/abc). Keys become <namespace>:<existing-prefix>:<url>, so a SCAN <namespace>:* evicts a whole app cleanly. Defaults to no namespace for backward compatibility — explicit only, never auto-derived from app_id.

  • :faraday (Hash)

    You may pass a hash of options that will be passed to the Faraday constructor.

  • :live_query_url (String)

    The WebSocket URL for Parse LiveQuery server (e.g., "wss://your-parse-server.com"). If not specified, falls back to ENV["PARSE_LIVE_QUERY_URL"]. LiveQuery enables real-time subscriptions to changes in Parse objects. @example Enable LiveQuery Parse.setup( server_url: "https://your-server.com/parse", application_id: "YOUR_APP_ID", api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY", live_query_url: "wss://your-server.com" )

  • :live_query (Hash)

    Advanced LiveQuery configuration options. Pass a hash with custom settings for the LiveQuery client.

    • :url [String] - WebSocket URL (alternative to :live_query_url)
    • :auto_reconnect [Boolean] - Auto-reconnect on disconnect (default: true)

Yields:

  • the block for additional configuration with Faraday middleware.

Returns:

  • (Client)

    a new instance of Client

Instance Method Details

#anonymousParse::Client

A NEW anonymous client that mirrors THIS client's connection but carries neither a master key nor a session token — every request it makes is unauthenticated (app-id + REST key only). Use it to drop the bound user identity for a one-off public read without mutating a shared client. Equivalent to #become with no token.

Returns:

# File 'lib/parse/client.rb', line 380

def anonymous
  become(nil)
end

#become(session_token) ⇒ Parse::Client

A NEW non-master Parse::Client that mirrors THIS client's connection settings (server_url / application_id / api_key) but carries no master key and binds +session_token+, so it acts on the server as that user (ACL / CLP / protectedFields enforced, no master-key fallback). This is the general primitive behind Webhooks::Payload#user_client and User#session_client: derive a user-scoped client from a configured (e.g. master) client without re-specifying the connection.

user_client = Parse.client.become(user.session_token) Parse::Query.new("Post", client: user_client).results # as the user

Parameters:

  • session_token (String, #session_token)

    the token to bind. A blank token yields a tokenless non-master client (anonymous REST).

    session_token: session_token,
  )
end

#body_carries_atomic_op?(body) ⇒ Boolean

Whether a request body carries a Parse atomic operation, i.e. any field whose value is a Hash with an __op key (Increment, Add, AddUnique, Remove, AddRelation, RemoveRelation, Delete). Such ops are not idempotent and must not be replayed on an ambiguous failure. Assumes the body is a Ruby Hash, which the SDK's normal save/update path always provides; a pre-serialized String body is treated as op-free (and therefore retryable), so callers handing request a raw JSON string for a PUT-with-op would bypass this guard.

Parameters:

  • body (Object)

    the request body.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

  • opts (Hash)

    configuration options

Options Hash (opts):

  • :live_query_url (String)

#connected?(endpoint = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Connectivity probe. By default hits the Parse Server health endpoint — the same target as #reachable? — so it returns +true+ whenever the server is up, regardless of CLP configuration.

Why not a _User find? A limit-0 find against +_User+ exercises the auth stack, but locking +_User+ finds to the master key via a Class-Level Permission is standard production hardening — on such a server the probe gets a permission error and (wrongly) reports "not connected" for a perfectly healthy, correctly-configured deployment. The default therefore avoids any data class.

To ALSO validate credentials, pass endpoint: a path to a class the configured key is allowed to read (e.g. "classes/_User" on a default server, or one of your own readable classes). The probe runs limit: 0 so it never pulls rows, and routes through the auth middleware, so a wrong application_id / REST key surfaces as an Error::AuthenticationError and is converted to +false+. Any connection, timeout, or API error returns +false+ rather than raising; genuine programming errors (e.g. +NoMethodError+) still propagate.

Parameters:

  • endpoint (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    optional path to probe instead of the health endpoint, to validate credentials against a readable class.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    +true+ if the server is reachable (and, when an endpoint is given, the credentials are accepted).

#delete(uri, body = nil, headers = {}) ⇒ Parse::Response

Send a DELETE request.

Parameters:

  • uri (String)

    the uri path for this request.

  • body (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    a hash that will be JSON encoded for the body of this request.

#get(uri, query = nil, headers = {}) ⇒ Parse::Response

Send a GET request.

Parameters:

  • uri (String)

    the uri path for this request.

  • query (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

  • headers (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    additional headers to send in this request.

end

#idempotent_retry?(method, body, headers = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Whether a request whose outcome is UNKNOWN (a 500/503 or a dropped connection) is safe to transparently re-send.

Server-dedup fast path: when the operator has asserted Parse Server idempotency is configured (Request.assume_server_idempotency) AND this request carries a stable X-Parse-Request-Id header, the server deduplicates a replay, so even a POST or an atomic-op write is safe to retry — the write applies at most once. The replay is NOT a transparent success, though: Parse Server rejects the duplicate with error 159, surfaced as a raised Error::DuplicateRequestError the caller must rescue (the original write already landed). The SDK sends the same request id on every retry (the header is set once and preserved across the retry), which is what makes the server-side dedup match.

Otherwise the conservative method/body heuristic applies: GET and DELETE are idempotent; a full-object PUT update is idempotent ONLY when it carries no atomic __op mutation (Increment/Add/AddUnique/Remove/Relation would double-apply on replay); POST (object create / batch) is never auto-retried. 429 throttles are handled at the call site, since the server provably discarded the request and those re-send regardless.

Parameters:

  • method (Symbol)

    the (downcased) HTTP method of the request.

  • body (Hash, Object, nil)

    the request body.

  • headers (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    the outgoing request headers (consulted for the request-id header on the server-dedup fast path).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#inspectObject

Redacted inspection. The default Ruby #inspect would dump every ivar, exposing the master key and any bound session token in cleartext wherever a client is logged or surfaced in an error reporter. Show only the connection identity and a boolean for each credential's presence.

Send a PUT request.

Parameters:

  • uri (String)

    the uri path for this request.

  • body (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

#reachable?Boolean

No-credentials liveness probe. Hits the Parse Server health endpoint and returns +true+ when the server responds with status "ok". No application credentials are required, so this passes even when the configured application_id or REST key is wrong. Use #connected? to also validate credentials.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    +true+ if the server is up and returned a healthy status.

#request(method, uri = nil, body: nil, query: nil, headers: nil, opts: {}) ⇒ Parse::Response

Send a REST API request to the server. This is the low-level API used for all requests to the Parse server with the provided options. Every request sent to Parse through the client goes through the configured set of middleware that can be modified by applying different headers or specific options. This method supports retrying requests a few times when a ServiceUnavailableError is raised.

Parameters:

  • method (Symbol)

    The method type of the HTTP request (ex. :get, :post).

    • This parameter can also be a Request object.
  • uri (String) (defaults to: nil)

    the url path. It should not be an absolute url.

  • body (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    the body of the request.

  • query (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    the set of url query parameters to use in a GET request.

  • headers (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    additional headers to apply to this request.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    a set of options to pass through the middleware stack.

    • :cache [Integer] the number of seconds to cache this specific request. If set to false, caching will be disabled completely all together, which means even if a cached response exists, it will not be used.
    • :use_master_key [Boolean] whether this request should send the master key, if it was configured with Parse.setup. By default, if a master key was configured, all outgoing requests will contain it in the request header. Default true.
    • :session_token [String] The session token to send in this request. This disables sending the master key in the request, and sends this request with the credentials provided by the session_token.
    • :retry [Integer] The number of retrties to perform if the service is unavailable. Set to false to disable the retry mechanism. When performing request retries, the client will sleep for a number of seconds (RETRY_DELAY) between requests. The default value is DEFAULT_RETRIES.

Returns:

Raises:

  • Parse::Error::AuthenticationError when HTTP response status is 401 or 403

  • Parse::Error::TimeoutError when HTTP response status is 400 or 408, and the Parse code is 143 or Response::ERROR_TIMEOUT.

  • Parse::Error::ConnectionError when HTTP response status is 404 is not an object not found error.

    • This will also be raised if after retrying a request a number of times has finally failed.
  • Parse::Error::ProtocolError when HTTP response status is 405 or 406

  • Parse::Error::ServiceUnavailableError when HTTP response status is 500 or 503.

  • Parse::Error::ServerError when the Parse response code is less than 100

  • Parse::Error::RequestLimitExceededError when the Parse response code is Response::ERROR_EXCEEDED_BURST_LIMIT.

    • This usually means you have exceeded the burst limit on requests, which will mean you will be throttled for the next 60 seconds.
  • Parse::Error::InvalidSessionTokenError when the Parse response code is 209.

  • Parse::Error::DuplicateRequestError when the Parse response code is Response::ERROR_DUPLICATE_REQUEST (159) — request-id idempotency rejected a duplicate; the original write already applied.

    • This means the session token that was sent in the request seems to be invalid.

#server_deduped_request?(headers) ⇒ Boolean

Whether this request is covered by Parse Server's server-side request-id deduplication, making a replay a no-op. True only when the operator has opted in via Request.assume_server_idempotency AND the request actually carries a non-blank request-id header (writes to inherently non-idempotent paths — sessions, logout, functions, push, jobs — never get a request id, so they correctly fail this check).

Parameters:

  • headers (Hash, nil)

    the outgoing request headers.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#with_session(&block) ⇒ Object

Run a block with this client's bound #session_token active as the ambient session, so every query / object operation inside it that resolves the default client (e.g. Post.count, Post.all, obj.save) is authorized by Parse Server as that user — ACL and CLP enforced, master key suppressed — without threading session_token: through each call.

This is the client-receiver flavor of Parse.with_session (and mirrors User#with_session); it scopes by binding the token as the AMBIENT session — it does not re-route operations through this client object, so the connection used inside the block is still the resolved default client. If you need operations to run against a different client, pass that client explicitly (e.g. Parse::Query.new("Post", client: #{become}(...))).

total = Parse::User.login(u, p).with_session { Post.count } # readable Posts only

Scopes REST-routed operations (find / get / count / save). It does NOT scope mongo-direct queries (results_direct, aggregate, Atlas search): those resolve auth from the query's own session_token: / acl_user: and, absent that, run in MASTER mode — so a mongo-direct read inside this block is a full master read, not anonymous. Scope mongo-direct explicitly with a per-query session_token: or a scoped Agent.

Returns:

  • the value of the block.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

    if this client has no bound session token (scoping would be a no-op and almost certainly a mistake).
