 Hi,

 WordPress API is powerful tool, but many users don't actually need or want
 it. While we can disable it using 3rd party plugins, I believe that basic
 features to limit access to API via specific/custom tokens, custom users,
 logged-in (authenticated) users, IP address(es) or CIDR ranges and so on
 -- should be provided in-core. Yes, yes I know we can achieve it via
 plugins, but they are not always best way to do it, and sometimes they
 have bugs, do not pass other internal plugins that actually use API (e.g.
 CF7) which may create problems, and so on.

 What do you think?
 Thanks
