Trouble getting user-cropped pictures from REST API, resolved with correct image builder usage.

I cannot, for the life of me, get the user-cropped pictures - using the UrlBuilder or the REST API directly. I can get the crop and hotspot details from GROQ query, but then I have to apply is all client-side.. I must be missing something.• The default view ignores the asset's user-defined cropping
•

max-h

returns the full size photo•

auto=format

returns a jpeg (should it not return a WEBP?)
Is there any chance it's just not working? That sounds unlikely, seeing as I'm the only one complaining 🤔Should I use the
AssetUtils library instead? It's not quite clear what the difference, if I'm only after the basic functionality of getting the cropped images from the server and applying the hotspot..

I had a similar issue and it turned out I was feeding the image builder the asset (

image.asset

) instead of the

image

itself. The image should contain some extra fields like

crop

. I think the image builder passes this to the

fp-x

,

fp-y

and other relevant params.

Somehow, it doesn't break if you do this, but you lose the extra information.

Oh! That did the trick! Geez, that's hours I ain't getting back. Thanks!!

Thanks! This was driving me crazy!
