Describe the issue

I call:

$mollie = new \Mollie\Api\MollieApiClient();
$mollie->setAccessToken('access_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
$settlements = $mollie->settlements->page();
var_dump($settlements);

Output:

object(Mollie\Api\Resources\SettlementCollection)#88 (4) {
  ["count"]=>
  int(1)
  ["_links"]=>
  object(stdClass)#116 (4) {
    ["documentation"]=>
    object(stdClass)#115 (2) {
      ["href"]=>
      string(69) "https://docs.mollie.com/reference/v2/settlements-api/list-settlements"
      ["type"]=>
      string(9) "text/html"
    }
    ["self"]=>
    object(stdClass)#117 (2) {
      ["href"]=>
      string(46) "https://api.mollie.com/v2/settlements?limit=50"
      ["type"]=>
      string(20) "application/hal+json"
    }
    ["previous"]=>
    NULL
    ["next"]=>
    NULL
  }

          int(10)
          ["connect_timeout"]=>

Do I do anything wrong? How to get the data for this settlement?
I get all API responses as API objects (no JSON at all), but eg. for payments I can address the desired variables in the returned object.

You are not doing anything wrong, this is the expected behavior. You can loop over the collection to get the settlement data.

Check the pagination example for further details.

I was looking for "_embedded" node/method/property - so it is in the documentation:
https://docs.mollie.com/reference/v2/settlements-api/list-settlements

But there is no "_embedded" you could loop through.
You have to use $mollie->settlements->iterator() to get a single settlement.
Not really understandable from the docu - I not necessarily look into pagination docu when I have ONE settlement item.

Thank you for your quick answer, it helped me.
