create a new app in Backand and press the CLICK HERE button on the header bar
2
Then, fill out the pop-up form:

Parse Database Schema: The Parse schema is required for creating the same database in Backand as in your Parse app. You can get the Parse database schema by running:
MAC:
-
curl -X GET -H “X-Parse-Application-Id:YourParseAppID” -H “X-Parse-Master-Key:YourParseAppMasterKey” -H “Content-Type: application/json” https://api.parse.com/1/schemas
Windows: If you use Windows, you can use Postman. Use GET and make a request from https://api.parse.com/1/schemas with the following headers:
- X-Parse-Application-Id: YourParseAppID
- X-Parse-Master-Key: YourParseAppMasterKey
- Content-Type: application/json
After following the above steps you should get something like:
{
"results": [
{
"className": "xz",
"fields": {
"ACL": {
"type": "ACL"

Cloud Code & Webhooks
1
The Backand equivalent of Cloud Code and Webhooks, Parses’ server-side activity, is called Actions. Actions can be used for implementing security, integration, performance, notification, data integrity and much more.
2
There are two types of Actions:
1. On-Demand Actions: initiated via a direct web request.
2. Trigger Actions: initiated by a data interaction event. Automated actions can occur whenever you create, update, or delete an item in your system.

Queries
You can create and call custom queries in your application. You can use parameters as tokens that will be replaced with the actual parameter values,
similar to how custom actions work. You can create your own filters, sorting, and paging, as well as use aggregation to summarize information.
Backand supports both a Mongo-inspired NoSQL and MySQL syntax.

Push Notification
Backand enables easily sending push notifications through its integration with 3rd-party providers. Backand currently works with PushWoosh and Netmera, and we will integrate with other providers in the future.
iOS SDK
This SDK is based on the Parse SDK. It has been modified to access Backand’s backend service instead of the Parse backend. The goal was to maintain source level compatibility with the original Parse SDK and preserve as much functionality as possible. The reason is to minimize code changes for projects that are migrating from Parse to Backand.
