What do you mean by "account"? In Bitcoin and exchanges you have private keys and public addresses. There are no accounts. Do you mean exchange account?

exchange on the Internet = an exchange portal, not exchanging.

The Bitcoin network doesn't have accounts, it is a peer to peer network. To receive and send BTC you only need to install wallet software on your computer or phone. You don't need to create any account.

> **I need to create address, which could send and receive BTC from another addresses**

The normal way to do this would be to download some [wallet software](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet) to your PC and use that to create addresses.

If you must do it using an API, you can choose wallet software that has an API. For example the *Bitcoin Core* application software has an API that includes

[`GetNewAddress`](https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/rpc/getnewaddress.html)

> `getnewaddress ( "label" "address_type" )`
>
> Returns a new Bitcoin address for receiving payments.
