6Platform Features & Developer Tools

Guideline 6.2

Developer Tools, APIs, and Integrations

GTAPoliceMods provides developer-focused tools and may offer APIs or integrations to help creators manage their releases, connect approved applications, and interact with supported platform features. These services must be used responsibly and only for their intended, documented purposes.

When using developer tools, APIs, or integrations, members must:

  • Follow published requirements: Respect applicable documentation, permissions, usage quotas, and rate limits.
  • Protect access credentials: Keep API keys, tokens, and other credentials secure. Do not publish, share, or use another person's credentials without authorization.
  • Respect user privacy: Access, collect, and use only information you are permitted to obtain. Do not expose private account details, moderation information, or other non-public data.
  • Represent integrations accurately: Clearly identify third-party applications and do not imply they are officially developed, approved, or endorsed by GPM unless that is true.
  • Maintain platform integrity: Do not manipulate download counts, views, ratings, reports, rankings, or other community features using scripts, automated requests, or coordinated activity.

The availability of a developer API does not authorize automated member accounts, bulk scraping, bypassing security controls, or other actions prohibited by the Terms of Use. Automation is permitted only through features and access methods expressly authorized by GPM.

Unauthorized access, attempts to bypass restrictions, malicious code, disruptive requests, and misuse of platform data are prohibited. Suspected security vulnerabilities should be reported privately to security@gtapolicemods.com; these guidelines do not grant permission to conduct security testing.

GTAPoliceMods may limit, suspend, or revoke access to developer tools or integrations when necessary to address violations, protect the platform, or maintain service reliability.

Allowed

  • Using official developer tools to manage your own uploads and releases.
  • Connecting an application through a documented, authorized integration.
  • Accessing information your account is permitted to use within published API limits.
  • Privately reporting a potential security issue to security@gtapolicemods.com.

Not allowed

  • Sharing, exposing, stealing, or misusing API keys or access tokens.
  • Scraping platform data in bulk or bypassing rate limits or access controls.
  • Automating fake downloads, views, ratings, reviews, or other engagement.
  • Accessing another member's private information or impersonating an official GPM service.
  • Running unauthorized bots or testing platform security without permission.
