Support WordPress Rest API

[bhubbard]

I would love to see support for the rest api, here is a quick working code example:

/**
 * Sweep Rest Routes initialization class.
 */
class Sweep_Rest_Api {

	/**
	 * Create the rest API routes.
	 *
	 * @access public
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function __construct() {

		
		add_action( 'rest_api_init', function(){
			register_rest_route( 'sweep/v1', 'sweep', array(
				'methods'  => array( 'get', 'delete' ),
				'callback' => array( $this, 'sweep' ),
				'permission_callback' => array( $this, 'permission_check' ),
				'args'     => array(
					'name' => array(
						'required'    => true,
						'default'     => '', 
						'description' => 'What would you like to sweep?',
						'type'        => 'string',
					),
				),
			));
		});
		
				
	}

	
	/**
	 * get_stream function.
	 * 
	 * @access public
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function sweep( WP_REST_Request $request ) {
		
		$name = $request['name'];
		
		$sweep = new WPSweep();
		
		$results = $sweep->sweep( $name );
		
		return rest_ensure_response( $results );
	
	}

	/**
	 * Check whether the function is allowed to be run.
	 *
	 * Must have either capabilities to enact action, or a valid nonce.
	 *
	 * @param  [type] $data [description]
	 * @return [type]       [description]
	 */
	public function permission_check( $data ) {
		if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
			return new WP_Error( 'forbidden', 'You are not allowed to do that.', array( 'status' => 403 ) );
		}
		return true;
	}
	
}	
new Sweep_Rest_Api();

Not sure why we need an API for a sweep. If you need to cron it, you can use WP CLI with it.

Having said that, if there are enough people request for it, I can consider =)

Having a rest endpoint is a great way to sweep multiple installs at once, especially when they are on different servers so you can't use WP-CLI.
