Is it possible to continuously receive GPS data from the DJI Mini 2 SE drone during flight?

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.

If you happen to have a drone that’s compatible with Litchi, its software can display the GPS coordinates on screen in realtime. The Mini 2 SE unfortunately is not supported.

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?

"I will run the Python code on a remote computer

I aim to perform crowd detection using AI during the drone flight and obtain the location data of the detected crowd. I also need to retrieve this location data from the drone.

If I can't retrieve the GPS data from the drone, I will attach an external GPS as you suggested

It might help if you explain in more detail what it is that you are wanting to do?
Are you wanting to see the GPS data live as the drone flies or do you just need to be able to retrieve the data?

If you just want to extract the data after a flight, that's very easy.
Your recorded flight data is in your controller or the phone/tablet you use to fly.

Here's an example of the first few columns from a spreadsheet of 190 columns of the recorded flight data.

Would that be of any use (or not) ?

I'm looking to access the GPS data live while the drone is flying, as I need this information for real-time crowd detection using AI.

The device mentioned in post #9 isn't going to help unless your drone is very close - within blueotooth range.

Just an idea.
Recorded video from the drone has the GPS data encoded in the video files as subtitles. (if enabled in the DJI Fly app). And it´s possible to live stream via RTMP while flying.
Maybe the live stream has the subtitle data as well ?
