Re: WordPress and Contact forms
You're probably ahead of me on understanding JSON 
I was just looking at the TTG documentation on that. Looks like it's only meant for accessing albums, sets, and photos.
https://backlight.me/docs/json-api
So no contact forms.
There are plenty of contact form plugins available for WordPress though.

Nope. The JSON API provides access to album and image data. That's it.

Re: WordPress and Contact forms
Backlight forms are not meant to work in Wordpress. You should checkout Wordpress plugins. Contact Form 7 is the one I've always used.
