Сводка	Longitudinal web scraping is a data collection technique that uses automated scripts to extract content from websites at multiple, predefined time points. By revisiting the same web sources repeatedly, researchers build a time-series dataset that captures how online content, prices, discourse, or behavior evolves. It is widely used in computational social science, economics, political science, health research, and digital humanities to study change without relying on retrospective self-report.	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.
