Σύνοψη	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.	The Mobile Experience Sampling Method (ESM) collects repeated, time-stamped self-reports from participants in their natural environment using a smartphone app. By signaling participants multiple times per day over days or weeks, researchers capture psychological states, behaviors, and contexts as they occur — eliminating retrospective bias and revealing within-person dynamics that single-session surveys cannot detect.
