Maxun — turn browser workflows into reusable structured web APIs

About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Maxun is a web data platform for recording browser actions or defining extraction goals with AI, then running scraping, crawling, search, monitoring, and document-extraction workflows as reusable robots accessible via API, SDK, CLI, or MCP.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Create extraction robots with recorded actions or AI instructions

Recorder Mode captures browser interactions while AI Mode creates extraction workflows from natural-language goals.

Sources: [2][3]

Expose scraping, crawling, search, and monitoring through APIs

Robots can scrape pages, crawl sites, search the web, monitor changes, and parse documents from the dashboard or programmatic interfaces.

Sources: [2][3]

For turning one-off web data scripts into reusable operational workflows

It fits teams that want scheduled collection, structured extraction, monitoring, and agent integration in one automation layer.

Separately verify site terms, privacy obligations, and rate limits

Technical access does not imply permitted use. Review target-site terms, robots policies, personal-data rules, and load limits.

Supplemental curator note

Maxun goes beyond one-off scraping by saving browser workflows as reusable robots that can be run from the dashboard, API, SDK, CLI, or MCP. Web extraction still requires attention to site terms, robots policies, personal data, and rate limits.
