parseuser··on Parse is shutting down today
They did a great job with Parse server, but unfortunately for people who just wants their data they basically have been abandoned.

Exporting data in JSON format is no longer supported. The featured has been left broken without any explanation, and they disabled the ability to contact them in regards to data export.

Thanks, but unfortunately they just replied with a canned email about their migration guide.

There doesn't appear be any way to simply export data anymore.

It's terrible that you aren't allowing data to be exported anymore. You shouldn't need to setup a server and go through the migration process just to get your data out.

The prior export feature that allowed data to be exported in JSON format was great, but that was left broken without any explantation.

The apps were not disabled. The export feature hasn't been working because of a bug on their end. It seams like the claim that Parse "firmly believes in data portability" is complete BS.

The export data feature has been broken for months — it’s stuck in the “waiting to begin…” phase. Is there plans to allow people to export their data?

I’d like to get my data out, but both options for exporting data via the dashboard are broken. They also disabled the ability to contact them in regards to the export data functionality.
