In general, you can use the Services API to fetch the header page and
then parse the content to get the creation date.

Depending on your used database access layer product/components,
especially in the Delphi world, they usually offer components which wrap
the Services API calls/layer into an ease to use object model.

So, what database access layer do you use?
