# 24K Labs Image Crop API

> 24K Labs Image Crop API is a paid API for AI agents from api.24klabs.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Crops an image to a specified rectangular bounding box defined by left, top, right, and bottom pixel coordinates.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 24k-labs-image-crop-api-6db047ca -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Crop this image to the box defined by left=50, top=30, right=640, bottom=480 pixels and give me the result.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a precise pixel-coordinate crop of an image without any resizing or format conversion. It is ideal for deterministic bounding-box extractions (e.g. from object detection output) and integrates naturally with x402 micropayment workflows at $0.002 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Coordinates out of bounds — if right or bottom exceed image dimensions, the call may fail or return an error
- Invalid image URL or unreadable image format returns an error
- Negative or non-integer coordinate values may cause a validation error
- Zero-size crop box (left >= right or top >= bottom) likely returns an error
- Network timeout if source image is very large or hosted on a slow server

## How this service works

Crop an image to a box (left, top, right, bottom in pixels).

## Output

Returns the cropped image binary (or URL) containing only the rectangular region bounded by the supplied left, top, right, and bottom pixel coordinates from the source image.
