It may be simpler to create a location block for each PHP root:

server {
    listen 80;
    root /var/www/api;
    index  index.php index.html;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;

        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $request_filename;
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    }

    location ^~ /beta {
        alias /var/www/api-beta;

        location ~ \.php$ {
            if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; }

            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $request_filename;
            fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        }
    }
}

Notes:

• avoid using alias and try_files together. See this long standing issue.
• the ^~ modifier cause the prefix location to take precedence over the regular expression location above. See this document for more.
