browse

Search & retrieval

Browses without a query: the most recent, or highest-ranked, passages — optionally within one vertical.

For agents whose job is to notice change rather than answer a question. A monitoring loop, a daily digest, or a first look at an unfamiliar vertical.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
verticalstringRestrict to a vertical.
sortstringrecency or host_rank.
limitintegerPassage count.

Returns:A window over the index in the standard hit shape.

Example

Prompt: “What has been published in the code vertical recently?”

browse calljson
{ "vertical": "code", "sort": "recency", "limit": 20 }

Over HTTP

The same operation is available as GET /browse for anything that does not speak MCP.

/browsebash
curl -H "x-api-key: $UNLOB_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.unlob.com/browse?vertical=code&sort=recency&limit=20"
