Comment (by jnylen0):

 Noting that `rest_request_before_callbacks` ([https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/4.7.2/src/wp-includes/rest-api/class-wp-rest-
 server.php#L876-L892 ref]) is probably a better filter to use than
 `rest_authentication_errors`, because it gets access to the `$request`
 object.

 This makes it really easy to only restrict, for example, the built-in
 `wp/v2` endpoints by checking the beginning of `$request->get_route()`.
