Резюме	Mobile API-based data collection uses mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) to query application programming interfaces — structured web endpoints that return machine-readable data — enabling researchers to gather behavioral, contextual, sensor-enriched, or platform-generated data in real time from participants in their natural environments. It combines the ubiquity of mobile hardware with the scalability and standardization of RESTful or GraphQL APIs.	Mobile Experience Sampling (ESM) is an intensive longitudinal data-collection technique in which participants respond to brief, repeated questionnaires delivered to their smartphones at random or scheduled intervals throughout the day. By capturing thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and context at or near the moment they occur, ESM minimises retrospective recall bias and provides a high-resolution picture of psychological and behavioral fluctuations in everyday life.
