 * Hi,
 * Using the WordPress API V2 for a mobile app.
 * I have got my custom post types by adding.
 *     ```
       add_action( 'init', 'add_events_to_json_api', 30 );
       function add_events_to_json_api(){
   
           global $wp_post_types;
           $wp_post_types['cpt']->show_in_rest = true;
           $wp_post_types['cpt']->rest_base = 'cpt';
           $wp_post_types['cpt']->rest_controller_class = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
       }
       ```
   
 * This is good but only gets the latest posts. I want to get posts with a status
   of ‘published’.
 * In the docs it says you need to request as a user with edit posts to be able 
   to filter on ‘post_status’.
 * I don’t really want to setup oAuth for this, is it possible to query this server
   side and add it to the API ?
 * Thanks
