You can check few other apis here
https://blockchain.info/api
https://api.greenaddress.it/
https://www.block.io/api
https://btc.com/api-doc

I have personally used block.io api but they have limitation on number of request you can make for free package. You better try blocktrail api which is almost free with great capability.

I guess you should use Blocktrail.com API as It's probably the best (from what I heard) and It also have examples written in Python , NodeJS & PHP too : https://www.blocktrail.com/api/docs (the limits are better then blockchain's one too)

Why not write your own API ? Manual RPC's ? Instead of depending on 3rd party crap ?
Below are a list of most common API's.I don't know the complexity or constants while using them.I'll leave to you to figure it out.

 I'm still finding it hard to believe why there's not a secure, easy-to-use web wallet API that doesn't rely on a ton of prerequisites.

Most people only care about doing the following:

- creating a new address
- checking bitcoin deposited to that new address + confirmations
- withdrawing to x address

Blockchain have bugged off there API key request form, at-least temporarily.
Everything else I've found relies on webhooks which are a PAIN to use in a local setup - I don't want to have to resort to using ngrok.

So yeah, the SDK could be PHP, NodeJS - just something straight to the point. Some of the documentation out there is a joke. Less is more.

Any guidance? Otherwise I'll just hold tight and hope blockchain respond to my manual request via their, laughable, zendesk.
