How to make an httpRequest from jobs in parse cloud code?

Question

Parse.Cloud.job("syncMetadataWithContentPortal", function(request, status) {
    var apikey ="49eiivmz"; 
    var uid = "t1g4Y2jC6S";
    Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
        url: 'https://api.parse.com/1/functions/getContentMetaData',
        method: 'GET',    
        headers : { 
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'X-Parse-Application-Id':'appkey',
            'X-Parse-REST-API-Key':'restapikey',  
        },
        body: {
            apiKey : apikey
        }
    }).then(function(httpResponse) {
        Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
        status.message(httpResponse.text);
        console.log(httpResponse.text);
        var contents = JSON.parse(httpResponse.text);

        var contentIdCollection = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < contents.length; i++) {
            contentIdCollection.push(contents[i].id);
        }
        status.success('Content Synced');
    }, function(httpResponse) {
        // console.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
        status.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status)
    });
});

So I have a job making httpRequest to call a function getContentMetaData which requires API key as a parameter.

1. How do I send parameters using GET method?
2. I got status as :Request failed with response code 405

Please help me how to solve this. Thanks in advance.

Don't use Parse.Cloud.httpRequest to call other cloud functions, instead you should be using Parse.Cloud.run

Your problem could also be related to your headers as you appear to be using string literals instead of variable references.
