Comment (by jnylen0):

 I think adding a low-level filter is a much more heavyweight approach than
 needed here.

 A cleaner way to resolve this issue is outlined by #41549 and #41554.  The
 idea is to introduce a single client-side code path for all API requests.
 Requests would be sent like `wp.apiRequest( { namespace, path } )`, and
 the function that builds the full API URL can be overridden if needed.

 Similar functionality on the server side is already available through
 filters that modify the behavior of `rest_do_request`.

 It would be pretty difficult to change the WP.com API structure at this
 point, and I think there's general value in adding flexibility in the way
 WordPress makes API calls.
