Simple example, included as examples/client.js:

/**

var parseSuperAgent = require('../lib'),
    events = require('events'),
    eventEmitter = new events.EventEmitter();

// Setup the parse keys by environment variables.
// export NODE_PARSE_APP_ID=<Application ID>
// export NODE_PARSE_REST_API_KEY=<REST API Key>
// export NODE_PARSE_MASTER_KEY=<Master Key>
// export NODE_USE_PARSE_MASTER_KEY=(0|1)

// Or the instantiate arguments.
var client = new parseSuperAgent(/*{
  applicationId: '<Application ID>',
  restApiKey: '<REST API Key>',
  masterKey: '<Master Key>',
  useMasterKey: true  # Or false
}*/);
