Maxun is an open-source web data extraction platform designed to serve as the ‘Web Access Layer’ for AI agents and workflows. It simplifies the process of turning websites into structured data pipelines, APIs, and LLM-ready formats like Markdown or HTML. By using a ‘Recorder’ tool or AI-driven prompts, Maxun allows both developers and non-technical users to build autonomous robots that can scrape, crawl, and search the web at scale while bypassing anti-bot detections in stealth mode.
