Dear Brian,

How could I call it from jqeury ajax?
I have an application in Java (same domain) and I want to allow access to this Java application when the user is logged in Wordpress.
So I created an API as you suggested, and I use the wp_get_current_user() in this API.

If I call the API directly from a browser, then it returns me the logged user of Wordpress. If I call it via Ajax in a jquery (JSP page), I don't get that user back.

Hope you can help me and wishing you all the best for 2016

Thanks for an answer.
