I cannot find any signup button.
I gave right to Parse to access my Facebook and GitHub account to login with that but nothing happens and it keeps going back to the main page.
Any suggestion ?
Yes, you cannot currently setup a new account with Parse.com, because of some platform issues.
They have however open source a majority of the technology behind the platform. Check https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server to setup your self-hosted instance of the parse-server.
You can also check out http://firebase.com for similar service.
You will not be able to create anymore. Parse is moving down.
But you can keep using Parse. At the same time Parse announced it will be shutdown, it also announced the Parse Server open source project. Parse Server community is growing and it is becoming even better than original Parse. In a short time, Parse Server will become the best framework for backend and API development.
My recommendation to you is to start using a Parse Hosting provider. Using this kind of solution you will use same Parse APIs and features. It will not require you learn other technology nor rewrite any frontend code.
You can find some options in parse server repository: https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server#parse-server-sample-application
For a full disclaimer, I am co-founder of https://www.back4app.com
Try logging in using their login page: https://www.parse.com/login
Parse will be fully retired after a year-long period ending on January 28, 2017.
You cannot sign up or create new accounts, but you can use Parse Server in your own infrastructure.

I am a beginner trying out api for fun.
The problem is, lets say, I want to write a simple windows program with golang to let my friends read and edit one of the sheets saved on my google drive. How can I do this without having them download a credential file?
What I want it to do is simply redirect them to the Oauth Page right away, and if their email address is one recognized by the app it will grant them access to that google sheet.
What i think you need is to integrate your go app with Oauth protocol.
More specifically, with the Google provider.
This is mainly 3 steps:
add the oauth client to your application
something like this: https://github.com/golang/oauth2
See their docs on how to do it.
go to google dev documentation and see how to integrate google auth flow into the client: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
I'm not sure if google has something more specific for google drive integration and/or go-lang client in particular. Please do some searching.
make the glue code on your go app so that the user can interact with this (the login button (or command, if it is terminal based), error messages, logout, etc)
More questions will appear when you start to do this, however it is a great example to learn Oauth as well.
General guidelines:
https all the queries or oauth is basically useless
oatuh has many auth-flows and you must choose which one(s) you support. use whatever google documentation recommends for m2m scenario (machine 2 machine)
log errors so that your friends can send you a log file for you to debug issues
maybe set some feature flag so that you can simply disable this feature to run/test localhost ? maybe useful? you decide.
Currently, I have been tasked to utilize the Google People API to ask for a user's basic Google information along with their public phone numbers. So far the results have been positive.
The solution my team and I have incorporated the Google People API integration in has the capacity to be utilized across thousands of domains. As a result, my question is simply, How can my team members and I ensure that any our clients that utilize our solution with their own particular domain get our new functionality built with the Google People API?
Keep in mind, our clients have the flexibility to have http/https and any subdomain on their site. Entering each domain possibility for our client base one by one would not be an easy task. I'm seriously hoping there is a solution around the single, explicit origin entries.
Thank you for your time and help.
Warning:
You must remember that if this is source code you are giving your clients that you are not allowed to release your client id and client secret. This includes plugins and scripts.
On November 5th 2014 Google made some changes to the APIs terms of Service.
Asking developers to make reasonable efforts to keep their private
keys private and not embed them in open source projects.
So if your clients could view the code of your application and see your client id and secret you should not be giving it to them.
Read more about this issue Can I really not ship open source with Client ID?
Recommendation:
The best solution for you will be to instruct your users now to create there own project on Google Developer Console and create their own JS origins.
You may just have to provide your own wrapper around the target API where you authorize the client request yourself and then do the request from Google using your own credentials.
I can not find a SignUp Button or a register button on parse. Is it possible new users to register on the site? All I want is to save an android data to a cloud/server with very simple way.
Yeah, You cannot currently setup a new account with Parse.com. This is because the entire platform offering is being shutdown.
They have however open source a majority of the technology behind the platform.
Visit https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server for how to setup your self-hosted instance of the parse-server.
You can however check out http://firebase.com. Their offering is similar to Parse
Goodluck
I am tasked to build a web application for data entry. Users will be able to log in and enter some data via browser. The data will be stored in Parse data tables. The web app should be easy and quick to build.
Is Parse able to host my HTMLs? I can program with JavaScript, but wonder which API I should use, JavaScript, REST or Cloud api? Any limitation as to my requirements? Which is the quickest way?
Thanks!
Yes parse can hold your HTML and you can host your site on it, you can read more about it here.
If you are building a web app I would use the JavaScript sdk.
Parse has a lot of documentation and its actually really good. This here would be a good place to start.
Hope this helps!
I want to build something similar to a poll service for mobile but it doesn't need Facebook.
After Facebook's acqusition, is Parse.com still a viable option if your web app does not need Facebook integration? Could app developers (customers) log in to my backend without a Facebook account?
Is it possible to build premium features with Parse and then charge for them?
Do you own your data when using Parse.com? I.e., can you export it in case you decide to move to another service in the future?
I am hoping someone with experience can shed some light on this. Thank you!

yes,for now.

I'd suggest you always have a backup plan,when using a BAAS.I pity Stackmob users that didnt.You dont know if parse will still be there in 3 years or their features and pricing will change.Never rely on a BAAS on the long run.
Yes parse has standalone login features with username, and password, in addition to twitter, and facebook. They even handle lost password reset's via email as long as the user has the email field entered. You can check if the user's email has been verified via the emailVerified field.
I'm using stripe.com's payment system via parse's cloud code. I will admit this is not a complete drop in feature for parse yet, but maybe in the future. stripe is made for developers, and I find it to be a very powerful payment system. I can answer some basic stripe/parse questions as I have written myself basically a semi-complete API for handling customers, card, and charges.
