Expand author, tags and categories in the WordPress JSON API

I figured this out, you have to add _embed=1 to any request so:

/posts?_embed=1&orderby=date&order=asc

for instance.

Then it will include an _embeddable key. Annoyingly all the terms come under here so you have to do some extra work to extract the difference between tags and categories etc.
