What you can do with Maxun, fully managed by Elestio.
Maxun lets you build "robots" without writing code: point it at a target URL, record the clicks, scrolls and captures you want, and it replays those actions to extract structured data on a schedule. The stack is served across three ports on the same domain, the UI, a separate backend API, and MinIO object storage used to store captured screenshots. It's positioned as a self-hosted alternative to commercial web-scraping and RPA SaaS tools, keeping scraped data and recorded workflows on your own infrastructure. It supports three data-gathering modes described in its own terms as Extract, Scrape and Crawl, covering everything from single-page extraction to multi-page crawling. Login uses the admin email and password configured at deploy time
Build a data extractor visually, record clicks, scrolls, and captures in the browser, and Maxun replays them to extract structured data on a schedule.
When a target site's layout changes, Maxun's adaptive technology spots the change and adjusts your extraction robots automatically, instead of silently breaking.
Access your robots through the UI, a REST API, SDKs, a CLI, or as an MCP tool, not locked into a single interface.
Collect thousands of pages in a single run, with rate limiting and proxy rotation built in, the project reports over 100 million rows extracted across its users.
