I dealt with this by removing some of the default filters:

function my_api_init($server) {
   // ...custom init code.....

    // we don't need all that extra data in the post
    global $wp_json_posts, $wp_json_pages, $wp_json_media, $wp_json_taxonomies;
    remove_filter( 'json_prepare_post',    array( $wp_json_users, 'add_post_author_data' ), 10);
    remove_filter( 'json_prepare_post',    array( $wp_json_media, 'add_thumbnail_data' ), 10);
}
add_action( 'wp_json_server_before_serve', 'my_api_init', 11, 1 );

your mileage may vary…(?)

I would like to be able to do this also.

Many thanks

I can’t find a hook/filter construct to handle custom fields, but I did this (below) and it worked, the disadvantage is that it is in the theme, so if you change the theme it will not work, but this is kind of a normal situation when using custom fields anyway, so I guess it’s ok.

in your theme file do

$values = get_post_custom_values(‘your custom field key’);
$shortcode_output = do_shortcode($values[0]);
print $shortcode_output;

we use it on this site http://www.worldofarthurcox.co.uk/site so through the admin they can put the description of the animations in the normal post box, and the shortcode for wordtube in a custom field box underneath.
