 * Is it true that WP Rest API is pretty much used for communication with other 
   WordPress sites and various general sites like Twitter?
 * Can it be useful for a single site? To talk with “myself”? 🙂
 * I hope you understood what I meant.

 * Hello dudeperfect95,
 * Yes, the WP REST API can allow other sites to talk your site, and even allow 
   your site to talk to itself. As of now, [the basic infrastructure is part of core](https://wordpress.org/news/2015/12/clifford/),
   which means you have to manually write endpoints to open a point of communication.
   However, the [WP API plugin](http://v2.wp-api.org/) comes with many pre-created
   endpoints. Exciting, right?
 * Happy RESTing.
