I’ve been trying for a full day to get a really basic install of the WP-API to answer to a custom post type (in this case called ‘transactions’).
The post type is set up and fully public, and it’s existence is acknowledged by querying example.com/wp-json/posts/types/transactions.
I’m getting the expected response from example.com/wp-json/posts?type=page but a 403 when trying to access example.com/wp-json/posts?type=transactions.
I really can’t think of anything else to try! If anyone has any advice I’d really appreciate it. I’m running the site on nginx, PHP v5.4 if it makes any difference.

In version 1.1 of the JSON REST API custom post type endpoints have to be registered manually. See: http://wp-api.org/guides/extending.html#registering-your-endpoints
In version 2.0 we register endpoints for any custom post types registered with the show_in_rest property set to true. Documentation on how to do this: http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/custom-content-types/#registering-a-custom-post-type-with-rest-api-support
