How do you get the value of a "embed"?

Question

I have a link field called lien. When I get it from the API through the Item it belongs to, I receive the following array:

[lien] => Array(
    [0] => Array(
        [embed] => 49935230
        [file] => 129256002
    )
)

I have no problem with the file.

How do you get the URL value?

The Embeds documentation: https://developers.podio.com/doc/embeds

A similar issue exists when getting the value of a category field through the Item object. It's an array of the selected option_id, it doesn't hold the option_text. The workaround is to get the corresponding App object and search for the option_text using the provided option_id.

Are you using a client library? If so which one? – Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen Oct 19 '14 at 04:40 — Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen, Oct 19 '14 at 04:40

The field's values are returned as a collection of embed objects. You can see documentation at: http://podio.github.io/podio-php/fields/#linkembed-field

E.g.:

$item = PodioItem::get_basic(123);
$field_id = 'embed';
$collection = $item->fields[$field_id]->values;

foreach ($collection as $embed) {
  print "Embed id: ".$embed->embed_id;
  print "Embed URL: ".$embed->original_url;
}

That's right. The output I got is from `file_put_contents` of the object. I assume there's an object collection for the category field options as well? – Vincent Poirier Oct 20 '14 at 18:59
You can see examples for all field types on that page http://podio.github.io/podio-php/fields/ – Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen Oct 20 '14 at 21:59
