I'm looking for a way to programmatically see if an OpenScriptRecovery is present. Dr Macinyasha suggested calling http://developer.and...uild.html#BOARD but that isn't returning a unique value I can use to check against goo.im devs.

Is there any file I can check for or any kind of unique quality recoveries that are compatible with OpenScriptRecovery? The only thing I can see at this point is blindly write the script to

/cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript

then reboot into recovery and hope it worked... but I don't feel like that is a good practice.

so any ideas on how we can detect if a recovery is compatible?

if I can get this to work I will happily write up a tutorials on how to interact and parse info from Goo.im's JSON feed and send a script to the OpenRecoveryScript

You can't detect what recovery is present on the device. You could hypothetically dump_image if you knew the partition and check file signatures, but that is asking for issues. Rom manager simply saves your last recovery install in sharedprefs. Goo bothers you about installing it for your device until you download one and that stores in teh shared prefs.

It is hypothetically possible to programatically detect it, but more trouble than it is worth

You could alternatively look at the /cache/recovery/last log and see what recovery was booted last, but that provides no guarantee, as a recovery may have been flashed since then, or cache might have been wiped, or a dozen other things.
