Comments.Text: Hi Ryan. I'm hoping to pull out either the "code" attribute (the iframe). I know I could parse the json file and pull it out that way, but I imagine there's a "proper" way to do it using plugin code.

Title: Using Embedded Assets Plugin With Element API
ThreadText: # Using Embedded Assets Plugin With Element API
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-11-08)
  
  When using the [Element API](https://github.com/craftcms/element-api), how do you go about using the [Embedded Assets plugin](https://github.com/benjamminf/craft-embedded-assets)?
  
  With a regular asset, in the API transformer you can pull out assets and include them like this:
  
  ```
  'transformer' => function(craft\elements\Entry $entry) {
      // Create an array of all the photo URLs
      $photos = [];
      foreach ($entry->photos->all() as $photo) {
          $photos[] = $photo->url;
      }
  
      return [
          'title' => $entry->title,
          'url' => $entry->url,
          'description' => (string)$entry->description,
          'photos' => $photos
      ];
  },
  
  ```
  
  This approach however gives me the URL to the **json file** that Embedded Assets uses to store some information about the video.
  
  Is there a better way than parsing that file as json in php and pulling the iframe from that? Is there some plugin code that can be used to handle this more elegantly?
