 * Hi,
 * What happened to action hook `rest_api_init`? If I use this plugin there isn’t
   this action, however if download it from [http://v2.wp-api.org/](http://v2.wp-api.org/)
   then it’s fine.
    I’m using composer from wpackagist which loooks into wp.org 
   repo (so here) to manage plugins. Is there any difference between this plugin
   and the one from wp-api.org? (you reference to those docs in this plugin’s description)

 * Ah there is another plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/)
   
   That’s the one needed 😉
