# Min Value

![](/files/-MSd0Fy1FoDTs-18fDzq)

`min` field is used in order to avoid unexpected values within the data stream. For every value that matches the Datastream type and less than `min` - `min` will value be used.

For example, you set the `min` value as `0` for your `Integer` Datastream and hardware sends `-1`. In that case `0` value will be used instead of `-1`. The same rule applies for HTTPS API and any user input on the web or mobile application.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blynk.io/en/~/revisions/VogQMoqSfAjFiPWKwr6n/blynk.console/templates/datastreams/datastreams-common-settings/min-value.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
