Zusammenfassung	Online sensor data collection is a systematic technique for gathering continuous or event-triggered measurements from physical sensors that transmit readings in real time over a network — the internet, a local wireless network, or a dedicated IoT protocol. It is used widely in environmental monitoring, health informatics, smart-city research, industrial systems, and behavioral science to capture objective, high-frequency data without requiring manual recording by participants or observers.	Web scraping is a computational data collection technique in which software automatically retrieves and extracts structured or semi-structured content from websites. Widely used in social science, computational linguistics, economics, and information science, it enables researchers to assemble large datasets from publicly accessible web sources — such as news archives, social media platforms, government portals, and online marketplaces — that would be impractical to collect manually.
