   Parse.com used to have a request.user already setup for every request... On parse-server, it's not there anymore. I found this code snippet sometime ago that just solves the problem ;) I hope it helps you!

   app.use(function (req, res, next) {
     if(!req.session || !req.session.token) {
       return next();
     }
     
     Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
       url: Parse.serverURL + '/users/me',
       headers: {
         'X-Parse-Application-Id': appid,
         'X-Parse-Session-Token': req.session.token
       }
     }).then(function (userData) {
       req.user = Parse.Object.fromJSON(userData.data);
       next();
     }, function(error) {
       next();
     });
   });

   I think newer versions of Parse.Cloud class does not have httpRequest anymore... You can use some other http lib to make the same request ;)

   Parse.Cloud.httpRequest is available in parse-server, where did you read it wasn’t?

   @flovilmart I am very sorry if I spread wrong info, but the new JS API docs does not contains any reference to Parse.Cloud.httpRequest...

   The JS SDK API docs used to have this info, and I always used it as my reference.

   After doing a more deep search I found that this info (Parse.Cloud.httpRequest) is now on http://docs.parseplatform.org/cloudcode/guide/#networking and I didn't knew that... My fault!

    I need to add it back but it’s only available when running in CloudCode. Actually, all cloud code methods are missing from the docs now, I need to add them back :)

    Does anybody know why I'm getting unauthorised when trying to hit /users/me on my server? I assume I have to have additional headers with the correct keys, but which ones? I can't find any docs on this.
