How to update a current row on Parse.com using a Curl REST API?

Question

I am new to executing curl statements to update my database on Parse.com. I am able to add new rows to my class without a problem by using POST. Now... I am wondering how to update a current row in my Parse database by fetching the objectId and then updating my Parse database. *I want to make sure that I am querying by the correct id and then update the status.

I am on the right track.

curl -X GET \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: my_id" \
  -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: my_key" \
  -G \
  --data-urlencode 'keys=SiteID,site_status' \
  https://api.parse.com/1/classes/MyClassName

How do I turn this GET method containing the objectId and put it into Parse by using it at the end of the PUT method?

output from curl: {"SiteID":"MOCMBS0006","site_status":"Online","createdAt":"2014-06-05T19:58:26.843Z","updatedAt":"2014-06-18T22:34:39.779Z","objectId":"randomobjectid"}

Can anyone please help me? Thank you in advance!!! Any advice would be appreciated. :)

It's in the docs here: https://parse.com/docs/rest#objects-updating

curl -X PUT \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: app-id-here" \
  -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: rest-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"score":73453}' \

Note the PUT method at the top, and the objectId at the end of the URL. You pass in only the fields you wish to modify.

"I am wondering how to update a current row in my Parse database without having to use the objectID generated by Parse" - is what I was aiming for. I currently do not have access to the objectId generated by parse when I am executing this command. Is there a way to query in a PUT?

No, you have to query first.

How do I use a queried GET method and then call a PUT method?

Get the object id from the results of your query.

I am having a hard time finding how to fetch the objectID from my GET method. How do I call/include on my GET method to retrieve the objectID result? is it like --data-urlencode 'keys=objectID, site_id' \
