Fix the malformed header image Markdown.

The image URL is incomplete (https://user-image) and the closing ) is missing, so the README header image will not render. Replace it with the complete reachable image URL and close the Markdown destination.

is closed with a trailing parenthesis so the header renders correctly.

This is an example project using the [Parse Server](https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server) module on Express.


The [Parse Server guide](https://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/) is a good place to get started. An [API reference](https://parseplatform.org/parse-server/api/) and [Cloud Code guide](https://docs.parseplatform.org/cloudcode/guide/) are also available. If you're interested in developing for Parse Server, the [Development guide](https://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/#development-guide) will help you get set up. All documentations for Parse Platform's server and its client SDKs are available at [parseplatform.org](https://parseplatform.org).

# Local Development

1. Make sure you have a compatible Node.js version installed. Run `node --version` to see your local Node.js version. Open the `package.json` file too see which version of Node.js this example repository requires at `{ engines": { "node": "<NODE_VERSION>" } }`. Note that there may be other Parse Server version available that support older or newer Node.js versions, see the [Parse Server compatibility table](https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server#compatibility).
2. Clone this repository and change directory to it.
3. Run `npm install`.
4. Install a MongoDB database locally from https://docs.mongodb.org/master/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x.
5. Run `mongo` to connect to your database, just to make sure it's working. Once you see a mongo prompt, exit with `Control-D`.
6. Launch Parse Server with `npm start`.
7. By default the API route will use `/parse` as a base. You can change this by setting the environment variable `PARSE_MOUNT`, for example in the CLI run run `export PARSE_MOUNT=/app` to set the path to `app`.
8. Your Parse Server is not running and is connected to your local database named `dev` in which the data is stored that you manage via Parse Server.

## Docker Deployment

You can also run Parse Server using Docker:

1. Create a `.env` file with your configuration variables. For example:
```env
APP_ID=myAppId
MASTER_KEY=myMasterKey
DATABASE_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/parse
PORT=1337
PARSE_MOUNT=/parse
```

2. Run Docker with the following command, mounting volumes as needed:
```bash
docker build -t parse-server .
docker run -p 1337:1337 --env-file .env \
-v $(pwd)/logs:/usr/src/parse/logs \
-v $(pwd)/cloud:/usr/src/parse/cloud \
parse-server
```

This allows you to:
- Use an environment file for configuration
- Mount the logs directory to persist logs outside the container
- Mount the cloud directory to access your Cloud Code files from the container

You can customize the mounted volumes based on your needs, such as mounting config files or other directories that require persistence or runtime modifications.

## Helpful Scripts
These scripts can help you to develop your app for Parse Server:

* `npm run watch` will start your Parse Server and restart if you make any changes.
* `npm run lint` will check the linting of your cloud code, tests and `index.ts`, as defined in `.eslintrc.json`.
* `npm run lint-fix` will attempt fix the linting of your cloud code, tests and `index.ts`.
* `npm run prettier` will help improve the formatting and layout of your cloud code, tests and `index.ts`, as defined in `.prettierrc`.
* `npm test` will run all tests
* `npm run coverage` will run tests and check coverage. Output is available in the `/coverage` folder.

## Configuration

Configuration is located in `config.ts`.


# Remote Deployment

# Using Parse Server

## Health Check

You can use the `/health` endpoint to verify that Parse Server is up and running. For example, for local deployment, enter this URL in your browser:

> [http://localhost:1337/parse/health](http://localhost:1337/parse/health)

If you deployed Parse Server remotely, change the URL accordingly.

## APIs and SDKs

Use the REST API, GraphQL API or any of the Parse SDKs to see Parse Server in action. Parse Server comes with a variety of SDKs to cover most common ecosystems and languages, such as JavaScript, Swift, ObjectiveC and Android just to name a few.

The following shows example requests when interacting with a local deployment of Parse Server. If you deployed Parse Server remotely, change the URL accordingly.

### REST API

Save object:
```sh
curl -X POST \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: YOUR_APP_ID" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"score":1337}' \
http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/GameScore
```

Call Cloud Code function:
```sh
curl -X POST \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: YOUR_APP_ID" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{}" \
http://localhost:1337/parse/functions/hello
```

### JavaScript

```js
// Initialize SDK
Parse.initialize("YOUR_APP_ID", "unused");
Parse.serverURL = 'http://localhost:1337/parse';

// Save object
const obj = new Parse.Object('GameScore');
obj.set('score',1337);
await obj.save();

// Query object
const query = new Parse.Query('GameScore');
const objAgain = await query.get(obj.id);
```

### Android
```java
// Initialize SDK in the application class
Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.applicationId("YOUR_APP_ID")
.server("http://localhost:1337/parse/") // '/' important after 'parse'
.build());

// Save object
ParseObject obj = new ParseObject("TestObject");
obj.put("foo", "bar");
obj.saveInBackground();
```

### iOS / tvOS / iPadOS / macOS (Swift)
```swift
// Initialize SDK in AppDelegate
Parse.initializeWithConfiguration(ParseClientConfiguration(block: {
(configuration: ParseMutableClientConfiguration) -> Void in
configuration.server = "http://localhost:1337/parse/" // '/' important after 'parse'
configuration.applicationId = "YOUR_APP_ID"
}))
```
You can change the server URL in all of the open-source SDKs, but we're releasing new builds which provide initialization time configuration of this property.

Use actual list syntax for the Hermes Agent report.

This line is wrapped in * emphasis markers, so it renders as italic text rather than a bullet. Use - or * as the list prefix and remove the trailing emphasis marker unless italics are intentional.
