Hi @sirjonathan

Looks like the simplest answer was hooking in and adding the custom fields like so:

add_filter('json_api_encode', 'json_api_encode_acf');
 
function json_api_encode_acf($response) 
{
    if (isset($response['posts'])) {
        foreach ($response['posts'] as $post) {
            json_api_add_acf($post); // Add specs to each post
        }
    } 
    else if (isset($response['post'])) {
        json_api_add_acf($response['post']); // Add a specs property
    }
 
    return $response;
}
 
function json_api_add_acf(&$post) 
{
    $post->acf = get_fields($post->id);
}

The code is so small that I could not charge for it. Maybe you could package it up into a WP plugin?

Thanks
