Ah, OK. I'm replying only on the Marketing List now, then.

Great, will contact both Patrick and Paul on IRC about this.
Since this reply is on the mailing list anyway, if anyone else has an idea about the WP API, please do let me know. :)

Since the `wp-json` API is a default Wordpress plugin, so anyone with access to the Fedora Magazine WP-admin should be able to re-enable it.
Essentially, I am hoping for a way to just fetch Fedora Magazine post links, banner images, and maybe article summaries. This is all provided by the `wp-json` API.
This isn't meant to drive any traffic away from the Blog, since clicking on any links will still lead to the actual webpage.
Rather I want to just to give users a sort of feed reader, from where they can access the Magazine and other resources, at once.

Thanks, Justin! Appreciate the help. :D
