## Description

This plugin enables a resourceful REST interface for posts and comments. Authentication
is handled via the [oauth-provider plugin](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oauth-provider/).

For more information about resourceful routing, see [here](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html).

Acceptable return formats:

 * JSON

Endpoints:

 * GET – /api/posts.:format
 * GET – /api/posts/:id.:format
 * POST – /api/posts.:format
 * PUT – /api/posts/:id.:format
 * GET – /api/comments.:format
 * GET – /api/comments/:id.:format
 * POST – /api/comments.:format
 * PUT – /api/comments/:id.:format

### To Do

## Installation

 1. Upload `oauthrest` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Create a consumer using the ‘OAuth Provider’ menu
