Shrnutí	Pilot-tested sensor data collection is a structured data gathering approach in which sensor instruments — hardware or software-based devices that measure physical, environmental, physiological, or behavioral signals — are deployed in a small-scale trial before the main study. The pilot phase verifies sensor accuracy, communication reliability, data format consistency, and placement adequacy, allowing researchers to identify and correct technical problems before full-scale data collection begins.	API-based data collection is a systematic technique in which a researcher sends structured requests to an application programming interface to retrieve data automatically from digital platforms, databases, or services. It is the primary method used in computational social science to gather large-scale social media records, government open data, financial data streams, and scientific repository content in machine-readable formats such as JSON or XML, enabling reproducible and scalable data acquisition that manual collection cannot match.
