min_quality
integerSets a floor on the passage quality score assigned at admission.
Quality is a per-passage judgement made when the passage was admitted — text density, structure, boilerplate ratio and extraction confidence. It is about the page, where host rank is about the publisher.
A high-authority host can still publish a thin page; this is the filter that catches it.
Example
curl -H "x-api-key: $UNLOB_API_KEY" \
"https://api.unlob.com/search?q=kubernetes+networking&min_quality=70"Common questions

Every filter is evaluated against a stored field, so it narrows the candidate set before scoring — a filtered query is often faster than an unfiltered one.
