Author SQL Log reader APIs

We have situation where we wanted to write our own custom application to
read, filter and export data from the SQL Log. Are there any Public /
Private or Documented /Undocumented APIs that we can make use.

Any information in this regard is appreciated

TIA

Understanding log files is somewhat of a mystery. probably why there are
so few log-reader tools out there (3 or 4 at my last count, if I
recall).

Microsoft shares the log details with several vendors who write products
which use the logs, but generally does not make the information public ( as
in available to us...)
