Hey @kala725,

This was possible in v1 of WP-API by following my suggestion in issue #13, however I suspect that's changed in v2 of WP-API, which it looks like you're using.

I'll try and find some time in the coming days to take a look at this, and hopefully get an alternative answer for you!

Having come across this myself recently, it looks like you have to enable filtering by meta_key and meta_value.

This post explains pretty well: https://1fix.io/blog/2015/07/20/query-vars-wp-api/
