Train a web‑scraping robot in minutes, no code required
Maxun lets you build custom web‑scraping robots without coding, handling pagination, login, scheduling, and turning sites into APIs or spreadsheets, with cloud‑hosted anti‑bot protection.

Maxun is a visual platform that enables users to create web‑scraping robots in under two minutes without writing code. By defining actions such as Capture List, Capture Text, or Capture Screenshot, you can extract structured data, individual text snippets, or full‑page images from virtually any website.
The system supports pagination, infinite scrolling, and authenticated sessions, allowing extraction behind login screens. Robots can be scheduled to run automatically and output results as APIs, spreadsheets, or screenshots. Maxun offers a hosted cloud service that manages proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving, while also providing a self‑hosted option via Docker or manual installation for teams that prefer on‑premise control.
Marketers, researchers, and product teams without developer resources can quickly turn web content into actionable data, while power users can extend the platform with custom integrations and self‑hosting for full data sovereignty.
When teams consider Maxun, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
