DB_PORT Yes Port number used to connect to the Postgres database server. Database connection will fail.
ENCRYPTION_KEY Yes Key used for encrypting sensitive data (proxies, passwords). Encryption functionality will not work.
MINIO_ENDPOINT Yes Endpoint URL for MinIO, to store Robot Run Screenshots. Connection to MinIO storage will fail.
MINIO_PORT Yes Port number for MinIO service. Connection to MinIO storage will fail.
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY Yes Access key for authenticating with MinIO. MinIO authentication will fail.
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID No Client ID for Google OAuth, used for Google Sheet integration authentication. Google login will not work.

How Does It Work?

Maxun lets you create custom robots which emulate user actions and extract data. A robot can perform any of the actions: Capture List, Capture Text or Capture Screenshot. Once a robot is created, it will keep extracting data for you without manual intervention

1. Robot Actions

  1. Capture List: Useful to extract structured and bulk items from the website. Example: Scrape products from Amazon etc.
  2. Capture Text: Useful to extract individual text content from the website.
  3. Capture Screenshot: Get fullpage or visible section screenshots of the website.

2. BYOP

BYOP (Bring Your Own Proxy) lets you connect external proxies to bypass anti-bot protection. Currently, the proxies are per user. Soon you'll be able to configure proxy per robot.

Cloud

We offer a managed cloud version to run Maxun without having to manage the infrastructure and extract data at scale. Maxun cloud also deals with anti-bot detection, huge proxy network with automatic proxy rotation, and CAPTCHA solving. If this interests you, join the cloud waitlist as we launch soon.
