HI,
Two (related) things

(1) I'm wanting to access data from the Jomsocial events tables from parse.com's RESTAPI
(2) I'm wanting to push data from my server to parse.com's RESTAPI - ie if someone registers an event it's sent to parse for forwarding to mobile apps.

Any suggestions on how to go about this? With JBackend it appears I can register and get user info, so that's a start :)

Hi David,
sorry but probably I do not understand your question.

parse.com is a cloud solution to use as "backend system" for mobile apps.
jBackend is a Joomla extension to use Joomla as "backend system" for mobile apps.

Do you want to use parse.com or do you want to create your own backend like parse?

Thanks,
Luigi

I'll explain what I'm trying to do.

When someone adds an event to Jomsocial, I want a notification to appear on the members mobile phone. I need to do this for multiple mobile OS and from multiple different Jomsocial sites (and servers) in to one app.

Parse as a "middleman" makes it much easier to manage this. So I need two way communication. Parse needs access to the Jomsocial database for authentication, but Jomsocial needs to be able to initiate a talk with Parse to say "send a notification to this phone"

Hi,
now is much clear what you need to do :)

So jBackend could help you with:

Parse needs access to the Jomsocial database for authentication

You could just create a small jBackend plugin to expose Jomsocial data through JSON/REST API, and require an API Key to control the access. More info here:

Kind regards,
Luigi
