Maxun is a no-code platform for scraping, crawling, and extracting data from websites. It's built for developers and non-technical users alike who need structured data from the web without writing custom scrapers or maintaining brittle pipelines.

The core idea is simple: record your actions in a browser, and Maxun turns that recording into a reusable "robot" that extracts data on demand. No selectors to write, no code to maintain. You can also skip the recorder entirely and describe what you want in plain language. The AI agent navigates the site and pulls the relevant data automatically.

Key capabilities:

  • Visual recorder builds production-ready scrapers by watching you browse, capturing clicks and scrolls into a repeatable workflow
  • Natural language extraction lets you describe the data you need; the agent figures out how to get it
  • Full-site crawling maps and extracts content across entire domains, not just single pages
  • Web search finds relevant pages matching a query before extraction
  • Scheduled monitoring runs scrapers hourly or daily to track price changes, job listings, or any content that updates
  • Stealth mode handles proxy rotation and browser fingerprinting so scrapers don't get blocked
  • Multiple output formats including Markdown, HTML, raw text, and links, ready for LLM pipelines or downstream apps

For developers who want more control, Maxun exposes a REST API, Python and JavaScript SDKs, a CLI, and native MCP support for agent orchestration. It fits naturally into workflows where an AI agent needs to call a web scraping tool as a skill. There are also pre-built robots for common targets like GitHub trending repos, IMDb, YouTube, and Airbnb listings.

Compared to tools like Firecrawl or Crawl4AI, Maxun leans harder into the no-code recorder experience and autonomous agents, making it accessible to people who don't want to touch an API at all. It's a self-hostable alternative to proprietary platforms like Apify or Octoparse, with the full codebase available on GitHub.

Over 100 million rows have been extracted through the platform, and it carries more than 14,000 GitHub stars.
