What is it?

Maxun is a self-hostable platform for collecting data from websites. Users can build extraction robots in a visual dashboard by recording browser actions, or describe the data they need in natural language and let AI extract it. The resulting robots can be run on demand or on a schedule and their output used as structured data.

Beyond field extraction, Maxun covers full-page scraping that converts pages to Markdown or HTML with screenshots, multi-page crawling of entire sites, and web search with time-based filters. A monitoring feature tracks pages over time, detects changes and sends notifications when they occur. It also parses structured data out of documents.

Access is available through the hosted app, a REST API, a Node.js SDK, a command-line interface, and an MCP server for connecting AI agents. The project can be run locally with or without Docker.

  • 04Crawl entire websites and extract content across pages.
  • 05Monitor pages for changes and receive notifications.
  • 06Access via dashboard, API, SDK, CLI, or MCP server.

Use cases

  • Turning a website without an API into a structured data feed for internal tools.
  • Tracking competitor prices or product listings and getting alerts on changes.
  • Feeding web content as Markdown into LLM or AI agent pipelines.
  • Running scheduled data collection without writing scraper code.
