Contact form 7 over the JSON REST API (WP API)?

is this possible?

To get the JSON (plugin url) of the form (fields, input types, etc.) how would I have to hook this up in a plugin?

Then to use the send mechanism of the plugin how would I transfer my rest POST to the plugins send function?

Any ideas would be appreciated

I know this is two years old, but I needed the same exact thing so I made a plugin and happened to run across this post.

You can hook in the wpcf7_before_send_mail action to get POST data right before the mail il sent by CF7.

add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_wpcf7_choose_recipient');    
function my_wpcf7_choose_recipient($WPCF7_ContactForm)
{
    // use $submission to access POST data
    $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    $data = $submission->get_posted_data();
    $subject = $data['subject']

    // use WPCF7_ContactForm->prop() to access form settings
    $mail = $WPCF7_ContactForm->prop('mail');
    $recipient = $mail['recipient'];

    // update a form property
    $WPCF7_ContactForm->set_properties(array('mail' => $mail));
}

Then in this function you can call your plugin and transfer him $submission.

And if you want to alter the POST data, you can use the wpcf7_posted_data filter:

add_filter('wpcf7_posted_data', 'my_wpcf7_posted_data');
function my_wpcf7_posted_data($data)
{
    $data['subject'] = 'Test ' . $data['subject'];
    return $data;
}
