DC is actually a pacemaker-internal role and it would really have
to be checked carefully if an application role should be tied to that
pacemaker role.
If you are looking for the possibility of giving a single instance of your
application on one of the nodes a special role you might have a
look at promotable-resources (master/slave-resources historically).
If you still want to know which node has the DC role you can of
course use the same interface crm_mon is using
(read the cib - some kind of cluster-database holding both
configuration and live-data). There are new interfaces in the works
apart from this C-API but I'm not sure if anything is already available
right now.
As a last resort - or your method of choice depending on how often you
need the information and how quickly you need to be updated - you can
of course consider parsing the output ofsome existing cmdline-tool
(e.g. xml-output of crm_mon).
