Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @mkaz Thanks for your bug report.

 I can see how a filter might be useful here to change the default for
 initial load. In the meantime you should be able to overwrite this value
 already, or connect the wp-api client to another root/namespace after the
 initial connection.

 To override the default, add this line right after you enqueue wp-api:


 {{{
         wp_localize_script( 'wp-api', 'wpApiSettings', array(
                         'root'          => esc_url_raw( get_rest_url() ),
                         'nonce'         => ( wp_installing() && !
 is_multisite() ) ? '' : wp_create_nonce( 'wp_rest' ),
                         'versionString' => 'wp/v1/',
                 ) );
 }}}

 if you look in the source code this will come after core's localization
 and overwrite the values passed there.

 Alternately, if the client is connecting fine at `wp/v2` and you '''want
 to add an additional connection''' you can call init again:

 `wp.api.init( { 'versionString': 'wp/v1/' } )` - this will connect you do
 whatever versionString (or apiRoot if you provide that).

 `init` returns a promise that resolves to the endpoint connection, which
 will contain the models and collections from that endpoint

 in addition, multiple endpoints that have been connected thru init are
 stored in a collection: `wp.api.endpoints`

 Does that help for your use case?
