Either use the geth console attached to parity or use the Parity UI application Parity/Web3 Console.
To attach Geth console to Parity, (on Linux) use:
geth attach ~/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/jsonrpc.ipc
On MacOS use:
geth attach ~/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/jsonrpc.ipc
To access the Parity/Web3 Console, open the UI, go to Applications and open the Parity/Web3 Console:

folder
~/.local/share/io.parity.ethereumdoes not seem to exist on my case. I guess because I tried it on mac. Also Insidegethit says'api' is not defined.@5chdn– alperMar 18, 2017 at 5:13 -

Under
~/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/folder,jsonrpc.ipcdoes not show up. Could it be/Users/avatar/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/ipc/parity-chain.ipc? @5chdn.– alperMar 18, 2017 at 11:03 -
1Jesus, all the platforms, I don't have a mac for testing right now. Did you find any ipc?– q9fMar 18, 2017 at 20:25

2Yes I did find the ipc but it refuse connection :)
[~]$ sudo geth attach /Users/alper/Library/Application\ Support/io.parity.ethereum/ipc/parity-chain.ipcgives an error as =Fatal: Unable to attach to remote geth: dial unix /Users/alper/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/ipc/parity-chain.ipc: connect: connection refused@5chdn– alperMar 19, 2017 at 5:33
A Node.js CLI Console can be used per the Parity wiki:
You can install node/NPM and use its console. Once you have node/NPM installed, you'll just need to install the latest web3 module:
$ npm install web3
From then on you just need to run node and require the web3 module:
$ node
> Web3 = require("web3")
> web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
After this point, you'll be able to use the web3 API from with this environment, e.g.:
> web3.eth.blockNumber

Could I run following command
api.parity.addReservedPeer('enode://0000..0007@<IP>:<Port#>')under node? Since I was not able to run it, parity could not connect to my private network andweb.eth.blockNumberreturns 0. @eth– alperMar 20, 2017 at 8:05 -
1@Avatar:
api.parityisn't part ofweb3. Maybe ask a separate question and someone can answer.– eth ♦Mar 31, 2017 at 10:01
To open the Parity console, use geth.
geth attach http://localhost:8545
In addition to @eth's response; if you like to have Parity's api calls; just install parity's api package instead of web3.
$ npm install @parity/api
$ node
On node console :
>// import the actual Api class
>const Api = require("@parity/api");
>// do the setup
>const provider = new Api.Provider.Http('http://localhost:8545');
>const api = new Api(provider);
// use api.parity.addReservedPeer
api.parity.addReservedPeer("enode://d64d5f74b1715c525dc88e87a52eca1574c09593ed29401d205ecfef9fbfe52fa308f966bab3a5966da1bb74212fecdb328cddceb572c38b536c597166784347@203080240034.static.ctinets.com:35423").then((data)=> {console.log(data)})
