Rest API and Custom User Meta?

[Toby Cryns]

Does anyone know if it's possible to pull WP usermeta out via the new WP Rest API? (http://wp-api.org/)  I have a custom meta_key (encoded as a json string) attached to each user in the "wp_usermeta" table (see attached screengrab), and I would like to pull that out via the Rest API.  Is that possible?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It's not in the core plugin yet:

But it looks like you can add your field to the user/view endpoint response with a hook:

Or try this plugin, but reviews are mixed and it feels like a sledgehammer/nail situation:
