Comment:

 @adamf321 Howdy, and thanks for the ticket.  The REST API endpoints use
 `home_url()` by design for a few reasons:
 1. some endpoint data is publicly discoverable so the public facing url
 (aka home_url) is a better fit
 2. we use rewrites to route endpoint requests and guarantee being able to
 rewrite the `site_url()`
