Is blocktrail from blockchain and therefor not third-party? It isn't right? What makes it better then coinpayments?
No actually blocktrail is also third party or better to say web wallets which have api feature however they provide their wallet service for almost free and not ask for heavy info related to your business like in blockchain.info. Best suggestion for any one is to use own bitcoin daemon connected to script by RPC client.

Even i tried to get their api since without applying we have limitations on requests. But after several attempts, I just dropped the idea and installed electrum, since bitcoin core needs more space for blockchain.

Why do want to go for some third party, when they will have control always. Just install electrum in your server and start using it so that you can have complete control.

What exactly are you going to do after getting the api code for blockchain? Are you going to use it for receiving and sending bitcoin/payments? If that's the case, you can try to use an alternative like https://www.coinpayments.net/merchant-tools-api . Good luck !

Why will he rely on a third party site like coinpayments?
They might get some serious issues afterwards.

I request OP to try out Blocktrail's smooth and clean API here: https://www.blocktrail.com/api
You won't face any of such backlash issues there.

In case you are using WordPress then you can try this plugin out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitpay-for-woocommerce/

If you don't have the resources to run a bitcoin node, i can advice blocktrail.com. Their API is the same lock blockchain in terms of stability and usage.
Just make sure to not depend 100% on a third party.
