The only API I'm aware of is the WMI one. This is a sample vb script
that uses it:

dim fso, a, qlist, qfe, msg, qname, hfid
quote = """"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fso.CreateTextFile("qfelist.txt", True)
Set qlist = GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf ("Win32_QuickFixEngineering")
for each qfe in qlist
   qname = qfe.name
   hfid = qfe.hotfixid
   msg = "Name=" & qname & " Caption=" & qfe.Caption & " ID=" & hfid &
" Desc=" & qfe.Description
   a.writeline (msg)
next
