How to differentiate between custom and Cumulocity microservice. Is there any specific tag or information via any API call can get this information ?
It depends how you define “custom” and “Cumulocity microservice”:
The easiest way would be check if the Microservice has been uploaded directly into your tenant (custom) or is subscribed/owned by another tenant (potentially Cumulocity). There is a fragment owner in the applications API where you can check the tenant where the microservice is originally uploaded to. If it is management it could mean that this is a cumulocity microservice. For private instances this could also of course be custom micorservices which are uploaded to management tenant and subscribed to sub tenants.
Also there is a provider fragment in the manifest of each microservice which could contain a string Cumulocity GmbH but be aware that this can be used by all possible microservices. So if you use an open-source microservice that is also using “Cumulocity GmbH” it doesn’t mean in the end that it is a official cumulocity microservice.
In the end the question still stands: What do you want to achieve? Why do you want to differentiate between “custom” and “Cumulocity microservic”?

Look for type MICROSERVICE.
Any owned by …/management are c8y microservices, any not owned by management are custom ones.
Correct but as mentioned: That’s true for Cumulocity hosted cloud instances but might not be the case for edges or private instances where custom microservice could be uploaded to a management tenant.
