Sažetak	Remote Document Collection is a data collection technique in which researchers gather written, visual, or multimedia documents from digital sources — online archives, institutional repositories, cloud storage, email, or government databases — without requiring physical presence. It extends classical document analysis into digital environments, enabling access to geographically dispersed or restricted materials and making it especially valuable for large-scale, cross-national, or time-sensitive research projects.	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.
