When I'm within a Salesforce org, how can I tell if that org is a Scratch Org or not?

Ideally this would be via Apex, but it could be an API call if required.

This would be useful information for the creator of a managed package who may not otherwise know what type of org is running the code.

---

I've had a couple of thoughts on how this might be achieved:

1. Check if the pod/instance that Scratch orgs are created on are separate from the general population of sandbox orgs. I suspect that scratch orgs have dedicated hardware. E.g. a new scratch org I just created is on p0/CS31.


2. Look for describe Metadata that is unique to only scratch orgs.

  For scratch dev edition orgs in specific, they are always located on CS sandbox pods but also identify as Developer Edition. That's a combo you don't see anywhere other than scratch orgs at the moment.

  One other option could be to query the Organization object and identify the difference between CreatedDate and TrialExpirationDate for an Org. In majority of the cases say for DE Orgs, Prod, and Sandboxes, TrialExpirationDate will be null. If you are not considering any trial orgs, then just having TrialExpirationDate populated will help identify that the org is a Scratch Org. For Scratch Orgs, the difference between the dates though will be anything between 1-30.

The SourceMember sObject is only present in scratch orgs. Its presence would be a sign that you are in a scratch org. The gotcha would be that it is only accessible via the Tooling API and not Apex alone.

  This seems like a great solution and shouldn't be too difficult with an HTTP request from Apex. Especially since we don't need the Remote Site setting anymore.

Using the Organization object, both scratch and trial orgs have TrialExpirationDate, but we can use IsSandbox to differentiate the two.

Organization org = [SELECT IsSandbox, TrialExpirationDate FROM Organization];
Boolean isScratchOrg = org.IsSandbox && org.TrialExpirationDate != null;
Boolean isTrialOrg = !org.IsSandbox && org.TrialExpirationDate != null;
