Windows Status from command line (or API)

Is there a way that a windows command line command (or a local app) can get the current status of the dropbox sync?

I've installed the dbxcli application, but that doesn't offer it (it has its own connection).

API

    There's no command line option that I'm aware of, and the API doesn't interact with the Dropbox client.

    Rich is correct, there isn't a programmatic interface for checking the desktop client like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
