I am using blockcypher send/receive API in certain services and accept Tx with 1+ confirmations. Post SegWit, do I need any change to be made at my end?

It depends on whether blockcypher changes their API but it shouldn't matter unless you are getting raw transactions and verifying then.

No, only if that API did something weird.

No, only if that API did something weird. Is the API doing "something weird" predictable?

I mean, if you're using a third party API then at any point they could make you add an argument "moon moon fish moon"... but there is no reason for them to do that; likewise for segwit.

Reading a little about SegWit, what I understood that SegWit addresses will be different from usual addresses. So, how a fund sent to a normal address from a SegWit address will be determined by the API? p.s. I'm sorry if my Q does not make sense. But, I'm getting a little confused here.

Your question is not clear. What are you asking about? The API's node will have to be segwit compatible in order to understand the outputs.

But, I'm getting a little confused here.As I understand it, there is no as-yet agreed on address format for "pure" segwit (p2wpkh, p2wsh), but segwit can be done in p2sh (see bip 141), so initially a segwit-supporting wallet can receive funds from a non-segwit-supporting wallet using p2sh addresses. Edit: well, but knightdk's answer still applies if you are talking about APIs. I was just trying to interpret what you were really asking.
