Is it possible to continuously receive GPS data from the DJI Mini 2 SE drone during flight? In my project, I need to obtain the GPS data of my location while the drone is in flight, and I need to transfer this data to a Python script.

The drone records GPS data continuously.
You can get that data from the recorded flight data after a flight.
But if you are wanting it while the drone is still flying, you're out of luck.
 
I would skip trying to make the DJI telemetry work with your project and build your own GPS "box" as a payload to do it.
Trying to get DJI firmware to do something it wont is kinda just spinning your wheels.
 
Thank you for your response. You mentioned the GPS box; if you could provide a resource on this topic, it would be very helpful to me.
You would have to build it. The parts are available. or you could use a ready to go one BUT these Require a subscription and I have no idea about how they are used.

and where would the python script be running
 
I have a Garmin GLO2 Bluetooth GPS that could be attached to a UAV then the gps co-ords are available for any mapping application. I use OSMand+ for mapping on a 10in tablet. The Garmin GLO2 weighs about 60gm so that may be too much for your little UAV. Have at look at the GLO2 specs for the range but I think it is reasonable

Have I missed something?
Would this suggestion provide anything different from simply extracting the GPS location data from the recorded flight data?
