user40759: I am new to using the Blockchain API. I have tried several times to use
https://blockchain.info/merchant/$guid/payment?password=$password&second_password=$second_password&to=$to&amount=$amount
but it always redirects me to https://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_wallet_api instead.
I don't understand why it doesn't give any response.

user40723: I'm assuming you're new to API.
The link you gave,
    https://blockchain.info/merchant/$guid/payment?password=$password&second_password=$second_password&to=$to&amount=$amount
Is only a template for an API request. You need to swap out the $guid with your merchant wallet id, e.g.
4b8cd8e9-9480-44cc-b7f2-527e98ee3287

You also need to substitute every other variable starting with a $ with the respective information.
e.g. password=<insert password here>
