Get featured image from "List Posts" results

I read this which is basically the same question but unless I’m mistaken, because the featured media link is another api url, I’d have to do a separate call to get the link to the actual image. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/featured-image-288?replies=2

Ok, figured out that I need to add the embed param to my url so it ended up looking like this: https://site.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?categories=59&per_page=5&_embed

this allows me to get the image url with response[i][_embedded][https://api.w.org/featuredmedia][0][source_url]

Seems kinda clunky but that’ll do. It might be a good idea to provide an option to move the featured image higher up in the tree or make this clearer in the docs.It looks like someone forked the plugin for that very reason: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/better-rest-api-featured-images/

Thank you
