I discuss the constraints that can be derived on the abundance of high redshift (z>6) (mini)quasars from the unresolved soft X-Ray background. Furthermore, I will show how existing Lyα surveys can be used to probe the very faint MB≳-21 mag (i.e., ≳7–8 mag fainter than the SDSS quasars) end of the z≥,4.5 quasar luminosity function.
