parseCom. Error 401

[Gustav Gans]

Hello,

this might be of interest for others but needs verification. I was trying to run the "parseCom" example. Got everything set-up on Parse.com but every time, when I run "populates", it would return me a 401 error. Double and triple checked all Id's but couldn't find anything. **sight**

After a while I decided to step through the code from the beginning and discovered that "firstTimeParseCom" writes the app id and the restapikey in the wrong sequence to the registry.

In "getRegistryPackage" I got this string: {"scopeEntry":"rest","authFlavor":"parse","restAPIKey":"Value of application id","applicationID":"Value of rest api key"}

I used this https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/excel-ramblings/_z8b9Gw8kws, to get the clear text key information:

Private Function encrypt(s As String) As String

    encrypt = s

End Function

Original:

Private Sub firstTimeParseCom()

    Dim parseCom As cParseCom

    Set parseCom = New cParseCom

    With parseCom.init("colortable", , , "your app id", "your restapikey")

        .tearDown

    End With

End Sub

My change:

Private Sub firstTimeParseCom()

    Dim parseCom As cParseCom

    Set parseCom = New cParseCom

    With parseCom.init("colortable", , , "your restapikey", "your app id")

        .tearDown

    End With

End Sub

After switching the app id and the rest api key, the data arrived at parse.com. Happy day!
