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.

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;
}
