Is it possible to check via MirrorAPI if a user actually owns Glass or if their account has the Mirror API functionality enabled?

There is currently (As of XE10) no way to do this. It is, however, a requested feature, so you may wish to star https://code.google.com/p/google-glass-api/issues/detail?id=107 to register your desire for the feature and to follow progress on it.

The suggestion there, and in other related SO questions, is to do a double-opt-in with the welcome card. This continues with the best practice of creating a welcome card, and also gives it a use to verify that the person can see it.

I think I also read in the mirror api docs, that a user cannot enable the mirror api if they are not a glass explorer: (right under step 2 on https://developers.google.com/glass/quickstart/php):

During this stage of the Mirror API Developer Preview, the API is only available to developers who have Glass as part of the Explorer Program.

If you are not an Explorer with Glass, the toggle is not displayed and you cannot enable the Mirror API.

  • Actually, any account can oauth through the MirrorAPI even if they don't have Glass. They just cannot enable it in the console. – ina Oct 11 '13 at 07:41
