Hi @chromonav , master key is required to fetch the schema. I think you should not store the master key on your client-side. Can you give more details about what are you trying to do?

https://docs.parseplatform.org/js/guide/#schema

[chromonav]

We are not using the master key on the client-side. Our use case requires that our frontend application has READ access to the schema of the database.

@santiagosemhan according to documentation reference Parse.Schema.all should be allowed from client-side using session-token without using MasterKey:

Please check out: http://parseplatform.org/Parse-SDK-JS/api/2.7.1/Parse.Schema.html#.all
Which is not working.

I recommend you to code a cloud function that return to frontend your schema data. So in your cloud function you could make additional controls or process the response and deliver only the required data and not all Parse schema data.

PS: Masterkey is required, use it in your cloud function.

@chromonav This is my fault. When I added Parse.Schema, copied from Parse.Object documentation.

MasterKey is required. MasterKey would override any sessionToken you pass anyway.

I'll submit a PR to fix this.
