What do you mean by "not available"?

This seems to be just the IDE auto-complete, but does the method work? Also, which Parse JS SDK version is your IDE using here?

Related: #2012

@dplewis did a lot of the typescript conversion in this repo, maybe he could take a look...

[dplewis]

@rjcodedev You can submit a PR to @types/parse to add this missing method.

[mtrezza]

@dplewis wasn't the purpose of #2012 to remove the reliance on @types/parse and instead use the TS definition that is generated by us?

Explained in #2012 (comment)
