## What is Maxun? Maxun helps you transform websites into structured APIs, clean markdown for AI workflows, and production-ready data pipelines — all in minutes. ### Ecosystem 1. **[Extract](https://docs.maxun.dev/category/extract)** – Emulate real user behavior and collect structured data from any website. No code required. * **[Recorder Mode](https://docs.maxun.dev/robot/extract/robot-actions)** - Record your actions as you browse; Maxun turns them into a reusable extraction robot. * **[AI Mode](https://docs.maxun.dev/robot/extract/llm-extraction)** - Describe what you want in natural language and let LLM-powered extraction do the rest. 2. **[Scrape](https://docs.maxun.dev/robot/scrape/scrape-robots)** – Convert full webpages into clean Markdown or HTML and capture screenshots. Ideal for AI workflows, agents, and document processing. No code required. 3. **[SDK](https://docs.maxun.dev/sdk/sdk-overview)** – A complete developer toolkit for scraping, extraction, scheduling, and end-to-end data automation. Whether you prefer browsing through a website or integrating automation into your codebase, Maxun adapts to your workflow. ## How Does It Work? Maxun uses web robots to power everything you can do on the platform. There are two types of robots, each designed for a different job. ### 1. Extract Robots **Extract robots emulate real user behavior and capture structured data.** Choose how to build them ### a. Recorder Mode: Record your actions as you browse - Build robots visually by browsing like a human. - Perfect for structured, deterministic data extraction. ### Example: Extract 10 Property Listings from Airbnb [https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/recorder-mode-demo-video](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c6baa75f-b950-482c-8d26-8a8b6c5382c3) ### b. LLM Extraction (Beta): Describe what you want in plain language - Use natural language to define extraction patterns. - Works with closed source & open source LLMs. Get Started with LLM Extraction: https://docs.maxun.dev/robot/extract/llm-extraction ### Example: Extract Names, Rating & Duration of Top 50 Movies from IMDb https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f714e860-58d6-44ed-bbcd-c9374b629384 ### Core capabilities - Extract from any website, including behind logins - Convert sites into APIs, spreadsheets, and workflows - Scale extractions and run on schedules or via API - Handle infinite scrolling and pagination - Auto-adapt to website layout & structural changes ### 2. Scrape Robots **Built for clean content and AI workflows.** - Get clean HTML and LLM-ready Markdown from any website - Remove scripts, styling, ads, and clutter automatically - Perfect for RAG systems, AI summarization, embeddings, and content pipelines - Ideal for feeding clean data to LLMs ### Example: Scrape GitHub Trending Repositories in clean Markdown format https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c774cbd4-5a85-45b7-b41f-128ee570eae6 ## Quick Start ### Getting Started The simplest & fastest way to get started is to use the hosted version: https://app.maxun.dev.
