<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
(async () => {
const response = await fetch(
'https://parseapi.back4app.com/classes/South Africa_City?count=1&limit=10&order=muni',
{
headers: {
'X-Parse-Application-Id': 'Z2BH1TZ0LaQKAAivyWxsutSrxo4hEn39PqJIdlzB', // This is your app's application id
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key': '9BV0ZQFsh5kjZx1jQSNSkGJnZg3aQbCijnC8c9F7', // This is your app's REST API key
}
}
);
const data = await response.json(); // Here you have the data that you need
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
