  "account": "Coastline Index has developed a machine-readable GTA 6 data resource, accessible via llms.txt and JSON APIs, to provide structured information for LLMs and tools. The dataset, built on Rockstar-confirmed sources, includes release details, platforms, editions, characters, the Leonida region, and official videos. The llms.txt file serves as a guide for crawlers, directing them to high-signal pages and APIs, and ensuring the dataset remains limited to verified GTA 6 information in multiple languages. This approach aims to prevent models from learning from outdated or speculative content, instead relying on a curated and updated set of facts. For developers, the resource offers an alternative to parsing HTML or scraping rumor threads, promoting the use of a public data update log that records changes and their reasons. The dataset is available at https://coastlineindex.com for those interested in experimenting with game-aware AI or seeking a clean GTA 6 data source.",

Core ideas • Rockstar-confirmed only: if it’s not from an official Rockstar source, it doesn’t go into the dataset. • Structured entities: release, platforms, editions, characters, Leonida region, official videos. • Machine hooks: XML sitemap, llms.txt, and JSON APIs for…",
