Requesting list of embedded objects

I have items endpoint which contains a list of embedded images. The scheme looks like:

_schema = {
    'name': required_string,  # group name
    'description': {
        'type': 'string',
        'maxlength': 140,
    },
    'images': {
        'type': 'list',
        'scheme': {
            'type': 'objectid',
            'data_relation': {
                'resource': 'images',
                'embeddable': True,
                'field': '_id',
            }
        },
    }
}

So I'm trying to make a request to the items endpoint to get embedded objects

/items/549ae47f4fb9041305403292?embedded={"images":1}

But instead of embedded images I receive just the regular object with the list of images _ids.

Here is an example of object:

{
    "_updated": "Wed, 24 Dec 2014 16:06:23 GMT",
    "name": "New Item",
    "images": [
        "549ae47f4fb904130540328b",
        "549ae47f4fb904130540328e",
        "549ae47f4fb9041305403291"
    ],
    "_created": "Wed, 24 Dec 2014 16:06:23 GMT",
    "_id": "549ae47f4fb9041305403292",
    "_etag": "949e3b731823bb2c08682ba4b6696b86856ef941",
    "description": "The best item ever"
}

I tried to convert images ids in list to objectids, but it doesn't help. Any ideas why it doesn't work? Thanks

You have an incorrect schema definition. Replace scheme with schema when defining the images list:

_schema = {
    'name': required_string,  # group name
    'description': {
        'type': 'string',
        'maxlength': 140,
    },
    'images': {
        'type': 'list',
        'schema': {                 # this was 'scheme' in your def
            'type': 'objectid',
            'data_relation': {
                'resource': 'images',
                'embeddable': True,
                'field': '_id',
            }
        },
    }
}

It will then properly embed your list of images.
