I doubt you searched with the relevant keywords.

3rd hit. Already have that document.
No API specification in that document.

OK, Hank, you seem to need spoonfeeding:

http://www.trustedqsl.org/

Not very obvious and *very* hard to find. But it has an FAQ.

http://cesnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...qsllib-doc.zip

That's on Sourceforge. You *did* look there, didn't you?

Yes, I have this also. The same for everything on SourceForge.
This is *not* what I look for. It is the description of the library
you must use to do things on the local machine. Of course this
is needed, and I have it already. I'm looking for the next part.

Maybe the term "data interchange protocol" will be better.
I am looking for the API *to the LotW database*.
One could reverse engineer an API from the web page code.
It would be better if I had the specification instead.
eQSL provides such a specification for their database.

I am aware of the architecture, understand how the certificates
are used, have my own database and software for dealing with
logs, station identification, DX entities, have ADIF
reading and writing functions for that database, etc.

What I have not yet found is the API into the LotW database, so that I
can create my own client to view, modify, delete and insert QSO data.

For eQSL this is simple. Now I want to do it for LotW.

There is no API in http://trustedqsl.sourceforge.net/lotwspec.pdf , nor in
any other available document.

I presume that the earlier "its in the code" was a joke, though not a very
funny one.

A pile of code is not an API, its a pile of code. An API is a designated,
documented interface designed to be stable (in an upwardly-compatible way)
over time so that client applications can interact reliably.

I'm beginning to think you weren't joking.
