Hi Álvaro,

As Barry says, you can do this by checking the user-agent; while App Engine
apps may add to the user-agent header, they cannot remove their own App ID
from it.

Can you elaborate on why you want to do this, though? We take apps that
violate our TOS seriously, and if you're speaking about abuse that isn't in
violation of our TOS, it's a big bad internet out there, and there are
plenty of other sources of abuse; blocking App Engine as a whole probably
won't do much to help, but it will cause significant collateral damage for
legitimate apps who want to use your service.
