The problem isn't the API, so far as I understand it. The problem is that
any request has to include a 'key'. That's a number which the BBC will use
to associate such a request with the registered user/app that is making the
request.
Not only is it impossible for anyone outwith the BBC to get a registration
(and hence a key) at the moment, the comments made by someone at the BBC
which were posted in another thread suggest that they'd not grant a key to
an app like get_iplayer.
There is a simple application form, which I filled in today, to get a
licence for accessing the Nitro API, and there's no implication that
there's a BBC-staff-only restriction. I'll keep people updated about
what I hear back.
