I am wondering if anybody has any information or news regarding the API (if it exists yet?) of the new YouTube Cards (replacing the old annotations).
Is there any beta api information out yet?
I'm referring to this: 
Thank you for your help

The YouTube API is an application programming interface that allows you to embed videos, curate playlists, and offer other YouTube functionalities on your website. It helps businesses offer advanced video sharing features on their website or app without needing to write code from scratch.
YouTube Data API costs are based on quota usage, and all requests will incur at least a 1-point quota cost. For each project, you're allowed 10,000 free quota units per day.
After creating your project, make sure the YouTube Data API is one of the services that your application is registered to use: Go to the API Console and select the project that you just registered. Visit the Enabled APIs page. In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the YouTube Data API v3.
The YouTube Data API, is a free API google does not charge you for accessing this api. You are free to use it. THere for no billing account is needed in order to access this api. You do have a quota which limits the number of request that you can make to the api over a period of time.
You can track the YouTube Developer Blog and also subscribe to the revision history of YouTube Data API v3, in order to get the latest info on the API, as soon as it is available. Currently (as of the last version of the API - April 27, 2015) there is no way to manage Cards, and I suspect that there would not be, at least not anytime soon.
I think so because currently even annotations are not fully supported by YouTube Data API v3 (they only added support for setting invideo annotations in v3). I suppose there is a specific reason that this feature has been missing for so long- maybe they don't want to unleash it because they foresee some problems that may arise if they do. It has been requested numerous times in the past by the community (See the last posts in this thread, where a YouTube representative has answered, also this question).
I'll investigate further to see if I can find any more info on future revisions of the API and will update my answer. Meanwhile, you can submit a feature request for Card Management API here. Good luck!
