 * Scott,
 * Great work! Any chance of supporting the AP API (v2) for saving responses from
   the API as JSON files, not html?
 * I tested Simply Static with the plugin ([http://v2.wp-api.org/](http://v2.wp-api.org/))
   enabled and my API endpoint (`/wp-json/`) was saved as an HTML file, and didn’t
   parse out any of the additional endpoints.
 * It would be great to offload some of the API load, especially for read-only endpoints
   that aren’t updated frequently or at all.

 * Hi briannyc2009,
 * That’s the first time I’ve heard a request to save off JSON responses. Presently
   Simply Static doesn’t do any JavaScript processing nor does it try to process
   any requests containing GET params. I think Simply Static probably wouldn’t be
   very well suited for what you’re trying to do.
 * Even if Simply Static could save off JSON responses, you’d still have to do a
   fair bit of work in telling it which requests to try, and at that point I think
   you might be better off doing something separately from Simply Static — though
   if you disagree I’m all ears 🙂
 * Best,
    Scott

 * Scott,
 * Thanks for the quick reply. I’d thought I’d check before I rolled my own.
 * Given the new WordPress direction to make everything access the API, might be
   worth a look.
 * However, your plugin and my use case for a static version is a glorified cache.
   I’ll probably through Varnish in front instead and call it a day. 😉
 * Cheers.
