How to extract web data without code, using Maxun
Updated 7/20/2026
Maxun lets you turn any website into a structured data feed: you point and click at what you want to collect, and the robot repeats the operation automatically.
1. Install Maxun
Pick Maxun from the app catalog. The interface starts on port 5173, and you create your account on first access.
2. Create a robot
You enter the site address and Maxun opens a preview. You click the elements you want: title, price, link, image. Maxun infers the pattern on its own and applies it to every row in the list.
3. Pagination and lists
You can point at the "next page" button and the robot walks through all pages automatically. The same works for lists that load as you scroll.
4. Schedule the runs
The robot can run periodically, so you track how the data evolves over time, for example prices or stock levels.
5. Export the data
Results export as CSV or JSON and can be pushed onward through the API to other systems, for example into an n8n flow that processes them with AI.
Common sense rules
- Respect each site's terms and its
robots.txtfile. - Do not collect personal data without a legal basis.
- Keep a reasonable request rate, so you do not overload the source site.
Maxun runs several services (a database, file storage and a headless browser), so it needs at least 8 GB RAM. See the plans.
