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 – Emulate real user behavior and collect structured data from any website. No code required.

   • Recorder Mode - Record your actions as you browse; Maxun turns them into a reusable extraction robot.
   • AI Mode - Describe what you want in natural language and let LLM-powered extraction do the rest.

2. Scrape – Convert full webpages into clean Markdown or HTML and capture screenshots. Ideal for AI workflows, agents, and document processing. No code required.

3. SDK – 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

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

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
