Please consider [leaving a 5-star review](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/json-rest-api-force-ssl).** **Note: This plugin requires the [JSON REST API (WP API)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/) plugin.** For site owners who want the WP API served over SSL always and forever. All HTTP requests to the JSON REST API will be 301 redirected to their HTTPS equivalent. If for some reason you don't want to use a plugin to do this, you can also just add this hook to your theme: https://gist.github.com/fjarrett/8cd04bd33e49bbd6e3b7 **Development of this plugin is done [on GitHub](https://github.com/fjarrett/json-rest-api-force-ssl).
