Is there any roadmap for Google+ API?

Cool things can be done once Google+ API is available. Is there any information regarding API release date of Google+?

I'm pretty sure there's nothing publicly available (and nothing privately available that I know of either).
Do you mean it is not going to come soon? They should provide graph API if they want to make it as a platform.
I would not be surprised if they were wary of going this route. A key ingredient to being "the anti-Facebook" would be to steer clear of spammy third-party applications, and the easiest way to do that is to simply not allow third-party applications.
I agree with @noahth that its a easier way to prevent from Spam post. However, it may reduce activities of users. There are pros and cons and its tricky to balance them.
