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.

Oops, I just noticed that. So sorry.

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.
