Today online video sharing site Dailymotion announced that it is opening its Application Programming Interface (API) to the public. Through the new open API, developers will be able to access and use Dailymotion’s core functions, including uploads, playlists, channels and more, within their own sites and applications. This is big news for developers, as well as for Dailymotion, who is likely to get more coverage once developers start using their API in video apps on the iPhone, iPad, Android and beyond.

According to a press release on Business Wire, “The Dailymotion API has been specially designed to be as easy to use as possible; in particular, thanks to the development kids (SDK) provided, a developer can create apps that range from video uploading apps to channel specific apps or interactive apps that make use of Dailymotion video content and sharing capabilities.
