I concur. A public API for SkyDrive would be very useful.

There is an official API for SkyDrive. Indeed, this is how official client applications, e.g. the Windows Live toolbar, communicate with SkyDrive. However, the official API has not been publicised or documented by Microsoft. Presumably, therefore, it is not intended for public use, or at least not yet.

I recently posted technical details of the existing official SkyDrive API in comments on my blog:-
