Returning 0 when calling determine_current_user()

[marioshtika]

Hello @Tmeister,

I am having a problem when using your plugin with the BuddyPress plugin.
Specifically with the Messages endpoint.
I am getting the below error:

{
    "code": "bp_rest_authorization_required",
    "message": "Sorry, you cannot view the messages.",
    "data": {
        "status": 403
    }
}

This error message means that the user does not exist.

I followed the logic and I found out that the determine_current_user() is returning the user even though it shouldn't.

So I created a pull request #256 and tried to fix the if condition to return the user only if it's a REST request and the user exists.

I tested my PR and it is working fine.

Let me know if you need me to do any more tests or anything at all.

Thank you in advance

Also, this is not related only to the BuddyPress plugin anymore, it is also happening on the default post API.
