Self-hosted Parse Platform RESTful API access - node.js

Question

I'm using Parse for some quick MVP app development to prove some concepts. Everything is working fine and I'm simply trying to extend the abilities of our app by setting up some 3rd party integrations etc.
I would like to access my Cloud Code functions via the RESTful api, as documented here
I've changed the server address, but have no luck connecting and pulling the data.
I am using Node.js to connect to the REST api, which is being hosted on Heroku.
var options = {
host: 'https://###############.herokuapp.com',
port: 443,
path: '/parse/functions/'+req.param('text'),
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-Parse-Application-Id': '##############',
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key': '###########'
}
};
https.get(options, function(resp){
resp.on('data', function(chunk){
//do something with chunk
res.send(chunk)
});
}).on("error", function(e){
console.log("Got error: " + e.message);
res.send(e)
});
So far no luck. Any suggestions?

Hard to tell what exactly is wrong without seeing the Parse Server configuration, the Cloud Code function, and more importantly the server's response, but here's what worked for me:
curl -X POST -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: XYZUASDASDA" -H
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key: XYZUASDASDA" -H "Content-Type:
application/json" -d '{}'
http://localhost:3000/parse/functions/averageStars
Result: {"result":"Hello"}
Here's my test Cloud Code function:
Parse.Cloud.define('averageStars', function(request, response) {
response.success('Hello'); });
As a quick test, I suggest:
Try using CURL
Try the test function above
