Keeping track of how builds are started
When starting builds through the REST API would it be possible
to add a comment that is displayed in the build history and can be
retrieved via the build history REST API.
start build
Similarly for the build started through cron, although this
could include the fact that it was started using cron.
scheduled builds
We want to schedule build through cron, and slightly different builds through the api and track the quality using the history api of each of these. We need some way of distinguishing these builds.

If you are OK with modifying build message then you may try implementing that with environment variables and Build Worker API.
When a build is started by scheduler it has
APPVEYOR_SCHEDULED_BUILD=True(http://www.appveyor.com/docs/environment-variables). When you start from API you can pass any custom environment variables.On build init you can check those variables and modify build message using Build Worker API.
It's kind of a hack, but could work.

Thanks, this worked great for the builds through the API. I don't see any issue why it wouldn't work from the scheduled builds.
