Maxun is an open-source platform for getting structured data out of websites. Its pitch is to turn any site into an API: you can scrape pages, crawl links, search, monitor for changes and use AI-powered extraction, without having to hand-code a scraper for every site. Topics tag it as a no-code, RPA and browser-automation tool.
It is built on Playwright-style browser automation, written in TypeScript, and is meant to be used through a visual interface so that people who do not code can create data-extraction robots. The project offers a hosted app and documentation, tutorials and a Discord community, and it can be self-hosted. The README is heavily sponsored by proxy providers, which reflects how scraping at scale usually needs rotating proxies, though those are third-party services that are not part of Maxun itself.
Maxun is licensed under AGPL-3.0, which requires sharing source changes if you offer a modified version as a network service. It suits analysts, marketers and developers who regularly pull data from websites without official APIs, and who want a managed or self-run alternative to custom scraping scripts.
