⚑ Performance Improvements

Maxun is now significantly faster across core workflows

  • Extract β†’ 9.74Γ— faster
  • Scrape β†’ 5.71Γ— faster
  • Crawl β†’ 5.31Γ— faster
  • Search β†’ 2.09Γ— faster

✨ Smart Queries

You can now attach natural language instructions to your scraping workflows.

With Smart Queries, Maxun doesn’t just scrape pages β€” it can understand and extract exactly what you need using AI.

How it works

Add a prompt while creating a scrape robot. After the page is scraped, an LLM analyzes the content and returns a structured answer β€” no extra setup required.

Examples

  • β€œList all pricing plans and their prices”
  • β€œFind the latest blog post title and date”

Output

Runs now include a new field

{
  "markdown": "...",
  "html": "...",
  "promptResult": "The pricing plans are: Starter ($9/mo), Growth ($29/mo), Pro ($99/mo)."
}

Works Via

  • Dashboard (No-Code)
  • API
  • SDK
  • CLI

What's New

πŸ” Robot Duplication via SDK

You can now duplicate any robot through the SDK, the same way you already can through the UI and API.

πŸ“¦ Maxun CLI

We’re releasing the official Maxun CLI, available for both Maxun Cloud and Open Source users.
The CLI lets you create, manage, run data scraping robots. It's a simple way to work with Maxun from your terminal.

What's New

πŸ” Robot Duplication

You can now duplicate Extract Robots created using Recorder mode to quickly create a new robot from an existing configuration.

This makes it easy to reuse extraction workflows or run similar automations without rebuilding the robot from scratch.

Robot duplication is available from the UI and can also be done programmatically via the API.

v0.0.31 | Autonomous Web Discovery & Search

Choose a tag to compare

v0.0.31 introduces two powerful new robots to the Maxun engine: Crawl and Search. These features allow you to automate data discovery at scale, whether you are mapping entire domains or researching the web via natural language.

πŸ•ΈοΈCrawl

Stop manually feeding URLs. Crawl intelligently discovers and extracts entire websites.

  • Intelligent Discovery: Uses both Sitemap parsing and Link following to find every relevant page.
  • Granular Scope Control: Target exactly what you need with Domain, Subdomain, or Path-specific modes.
  • Advanced Filtering: Use Regex patterns to include or exclude specific content (e.g., skip /admin, target /blog/*).
  • Depth Control: Define how many levels deep the robot should navigate from your starting URL.

πŸ” Search

Turn search engine queries into structured datasets.

  • Query Based: Search the web with a search query - same as you would type in a search engine.
  • Dual Modes: Use Discover Mode for fast metadata/URL harvesting, or Scrape Mode to automatically visit and extract full content from every search result.
  • Recency Filters: Narrow down data by time (Day, Week, Month, Year) to find the freshest content.

Hybrid Access

Manage these robots through our no-code dashboard or trigger them programmatically via our Developer SDK.

What's New

πŸ”₯ AI Mode For Extraction (Beta)

Now build Extract Robots without recording! Simply describe what you want in plain language.

Example: Extract Names, Rating & Duration of Top 50 Movies from IMDb

maxun_ai_mode_extraction.mp4

Choose your approach

  • Recorder Mode: Click through websites to record actions step-by-step.
  • AI Mode: Describe what you want - the AI handles the extraction logic.

Supports local LLMs via Ollama for privacy and cloud models (OpenAI, Anthropic) for maximum accuracy.

Get Started with AI Mode: https://docs.maxun.dev/robot/extract/llm-extraction

πŸ“¦ Maxun SDK v0.0.1

The official Node.js SDK for Maxun.
Works with both Maxun Cloud and Maxun Open Source - automatically handles the differences for you.
Get Started: https://github.com/getmaxun/node-sdk

Core Features

1. LLM Extraction (Beta) – Extract data using natural language prompts

Example: Extract the first 15 Company Names, Descriptions and Batch Information from YC

maxun_sdk_llm_extract.mp4

2. Non-LLM Extraction – Use precise selectors for reliability

a. Auto Pagination
Pagination is completely optional. When you don't specify the pagination field, Maxun automatically detects and handles pagination for you.

.captureList({ 
  selector: '.product-card',
  maxItems: 100
})

b. Auto List Capture
When using captureList, you only need to provide the list item selector. Maxun automatically:

Detects all meaningful fields within each list item
Extracts clean, structured data from those fields

.captureList({ 
  selector: '.product-card'  // That's it! Maxun finds all fields inside
})

Complete Robot Management

  1. Scheduling – Set up recurring runs with cron syntax
  2. Webhooks – Receive notifications on job completion
  3. Runs & Execution – Monitor status, results, and history
  4. Robot CRUD – Create, update, and manage robots programmatically
