What is the X-Parse-REST-API-Key in parse REST API?

I am trying to host the opensource parse-server on heroku.

The opensource documentation (https://docs.parseplatform.org/rest/guide/#users) says that for all the REST APIs, there should be a X-Parse-REST-API-Key.

E.g. User Login.

curl -X GET \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: ${APPLICATION_ID}" \
  -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: ${REST_API_KEY}" \
  -H "X-Parse-Revocable-Session: 1" \
  -G \
  --data-urlencode 'username=cooldude6' \
  --data-urlencode 'password=p_n7!-e8' \
  https://api.parse.com/1/login

I am not very sure what is the REST-API-KEY? In fact, the APi will work without the REST-API-KEY:

curl -X GET \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: ${APPLICATION_ID}" \
  -H "X-Parse-Revocable-Session: 1" \
  -G \
  --data-urlencode 'username=cooldude6' \
  --data-urlencode 'password=p_n7!-e8' \
  https://api.parse.com/1/login

Is this a mistake in the documentation or did I miss out something?

The open source documentation is quite outdated. Also, most of the events does not require the REST API now. You cna just use appID and Masterkey in most cases.
