Parse cloud code query not working

Question

I have a parse cloud code function which i'm using to get some information from one of my classes called SourcesTopData, this is being called in swift whenever the app launches.

The issue i'm having is it seems like the query code i'm using to get this information isn't working. The function being used is below.

    Parse.Cloud.define("myNews", function (request, response) {

        var newsJsonData = {
            "stories": []
        };

        // Check the params and get the range
        if (parseInt(request.params.myoffset) === 0) {

            endIndex = 5;

        } else {
            startIndex = request.params.myoffset;
            endIndex = startIndex + 5;
        }



        var promises = _.each(request.params.keys, function (news_api_key) {

            if (request.params.Type == "Top") {



                var query = new Parse.Query("SourceTopData");
                query.equalTo("guid", news_api_key);

                console.log("The api key is " + news_api_key);

                query.find({

                    success: function (results) {

                        console.log("The results are");
                        console.log("The icon name is  " + results[0].get("icon") + " The source name is " + results[0].get("source") + " The url id is " + results[0].get("guid_url"));

                    },
                    error: function () {

                        console.log("FAIL");
                        success = false;

                        response.error("Query lookup failed");
                    }
                });

            }
        });


        Parse.Promise.when(promises).then(function () {

            response.success(newsJsonData);

        }, function () {
            response.error("No stories");
        });

    });

The line where i am trying to log the columns under the console.log("The results are"); is printing nothing. After moving the logging i've found that the code isn't going into the success or the fail in the query find but i can't seems to figure out why this is since looking at the doc i've set up the Parse.Query properly.
