There should be a parent field there, if not, there is something wrong
(demo is old, so I don't know about that). In general I would suggest
using 2.9 (trunk) for WebAPI development since it contains so many
improvements.

The same information should be available at:
/api/organisationUnits?viewClass=export
and
/api/metaData?assumeTrue=false&organisationUnits=true

(but not on demo, try dev. Sorry, I can't access the UiO network from
where I am now)
