Comment:

 Filtering by post format could be a nice enhancement, but as Ryan noted,
 this parameter is currently only supported for reading and editing
 individual posts.  @sba7elfol can you give us some more information about
 your use case?

 The `WP_Query` docs have an example of querying the `post_format` taxonomy
 - third example in the
 [https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters
 Taxonomy Parameters section].

 Currently it would be possible to insert these extra query parameters in a
 plugin or theme using the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7.2/src/wp-includes/rest-
 api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php#L252 'rest_post_query'
 filter].
