Lotus Notes 4.6.7a API or protocol

I want to make a program which automatically gets some data from one of the lotus notes database. I have to implement connection to the server, with login and password, to request the needed database and get what I want. But without using the Lotus Notes program, make a C++ program instead for this purpose.

The version s v4.6.7a. Old one. Who knows where to get the data protocols or may be API for C language?

IBM knows... if you have Lotus Notes then IBM can point you to APIs etc. on how to interact with it... – Yahia
Is 4.6.7 the client version, or the server version? – Richard Schwartz
Notes 4.6.7? Wow. That's from the beginning of my development career. Any chance they're still running Windows 95? – David Navarre
@DavidNavarre No they are running o windows xp and windows 7 :) – maximus
@maximus That's what I figured. I assume they complain about how slow and ugly Notes is, not realizing their system is 15 years old. It reminds me of the Notes implementation at the US Department of State - they were replacing the teletype system (for "cables" sent from embassies and such to Washington) with Notes and the requirements insisted on keystroke-for-keystroke duplication of the teletype system and the exact same interface. Needless to say, it was just as slow and user-unfriendly as the old system it duplicated. So, State Department employees all thought Notes sucked. – David Navarre

There's a JAR for the Java language that implements all the features you request. It's NCSO.jar and it's located in the Louts Notes installation directory.

As an alternative you can use NotesSQL and access its data through ODBC.
