How to connect to a local parse-server with Unity3d?

I need to migrate from Parse.com to my own Parse-server. How could I initialize the Parse SDK on my Unity Project passing my server URL? The only editable variables on Unity Editor are ApplicationId and DotNetKey. I saw a .Net example where I could pass the serverUrl on application initialization (see below), but on Unity I could not find this option:

ParseClient.initialize(new ParseClient.Configuration {
    ApplicationId = "YOUR_APP_ID",
    ClientKey = "YOUR_APP_CLIENT_KEY",
    Server = "http://localhost:1337/parse"
});

I found that the Parse.ParseClient class has a internal HostName variable. How can I access that by reflection? I tried:

typeOf(ParseClient)

But this returns

unknown type: Parse.ParseClient

The documentation you referenced has a typo. Its ParseClient.Initialize with an upper-case I. If you have the proper #using Parse; in your code, it should not flag an error.

************** SOLUTION *****************

public class ParseInitializer : ParseInitializeBehaviour {
    [SerializeField] public string hostURL; 

    public override void Awake() {
        var assembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(ParseInitializeBehaviour));
        var type = assembly.GetType("Parse.ParseClient");
        var prop = type.GetProperty("HostName", BindingFlags.Static 
                            | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        Uri uri = new Uri(hostURL;);
        prop.SetValue(type, uri, null);

        var s = (Uri)prop.GetValue(type, null);
        base.Awake();
    }

}
