I need to get number of confirmation of a transaction. I know I can do this using bitcoin core but I need a tool that do not need a local copy blockchains. also I can not use any 3rd party API. it should work in linux.

Main problem there. It is quite hard if you choose not to use a third party API.

If you are facing storage constraints only, I would recommend running Bitcoin Core with pruning turned on. If not, would a SPV client suffice? Electrum provides a command line and it doesn't require much resources. That is the best I can think of.

electrum doesn't provide confirmation counts Sad

Oops, I just noticed that. So sorry.

could you please explain more? thanks Cheesy

Pruning allows the older blocks to be deleted safely. They are useless after they are verified to be legit. To enable this, you can insert -prune=1000 into bitcoin.conf to enable the last 1000mb of blocks to be saved.
