## What is Maxun?
|
||
|
||
Maxun is a powerful no-code ecosystem for web data extraction. With its intuitive no-code interface, anyone can extract data from **any** website — no coding required. In just minutes, users can build automation robots to **turn websites into structured APIs, LLM-ready markdown, spreadsheets, extract data at scale, and much more.**
|
||
|
||
## 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 at scale.**
|
||
- Built for automation and structured data extraction
|
||
- Point-and-click interface - no coding required
|
||
- Extract from any website, including behind logins
|
||
- Record user actions (clicks, scrolls, form fills, pagination, etc.)
|
||
- 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
|
||
- Extract main content while filtering out navigation and irrelevant elements
|
||
- Ideal for feeding clean data to large language models

- ✨ **Fill out forms** with custom data
|
||
- ✨ **Select from dropdowns**, radios, checkboxes, dates, times, etc.
|
||
- ✨ **Take screenshots** - fullpage or visible sections
|
||
- ✨ **Capture structured data** without writing code
|
||
- ✨ **Handle infinite scrolling** and pagination automatically
|
||
- ✨ **Run on schedules** - set it and forget it
|
||
- ✨ **Trigger via APIs** for third-party integrations
|
||
- ✨ **Extract behind login** walls and authentication
|
||
- ✨ **Integrate with applications** like N8N, Google Sheets, Airtable, and more
|
||
- ✨ **Send data to webhooks** for real-time processing
|
||
- ✨ **Get clean HTML** from websites for AI applications
