Accessing ACF field in WP_POST object / syntax

Hi there,

I have a feed that takes a parameter

$url = ‘https://api.stockprovider.com/chart?ticker=’ . $ticker . ”;

I need $ticker to be generated dynamically, because many stocks need to be displayed at the same time. To combat this. I created a CPT for companies. In companies, I created an ACF called ‘stock_ticker’.

$query= new WP_Query(array(
	'post_type'=>'companies', // your post type name
	'posts_per_page' => -1, // post per page
	'nopaging' => true,
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby' => 'menu_order title',
	'order' => 'ASC',
	// 'meta_key'      => 'bekeruljon_a_scrollerbe',
	// 'meta_value'    => '1'
	
));
$elements = $query->posts;

foreach ( $elements as $index => $element ) {

// $ticker = $element->post_title; // This works, but the title is not what I need
$ticker = get_field('feed_id'); //  This is something that I would need, but I'm guessing I'm accessing it the wrong way.

}

Any help is appreciated!

Managed to access date like so:

$tickerid = $element->ID;
$ticker = get_field(‘feed_id’, $tickerid );
