| Sintesi≠ | Multi-source API-based data collection is a systematic technique in which a researcher simultaneously or sequentially queries two or more application programming interfaces (APIs) to harvest digital data for a research project. By drawing from multiple platforms or services — such as social media APIs, government open-data portals, or scientific data repositories — researchers can build richer, more representative datasets than any single source permits. The method is especially prominent in computational social science, digital humanities, public health surveillance, and environmental monitoring. | 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. |
