The simplest method/function to retrieve the latest block number on ETH aka Ethereum Blockchain is via the following method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | const Web3 = require('web3'); const getBlockNumber = async() => { const MAIN_ENDPOINT = "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/..."; const web3 = new Web3(ENDPOINT); return await web3.eth.getBlockNumber(); } |
const Web3 = require('web3');
const getBlockNumber = async() => {
const MAIN_ENDPOINT = "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/...";
const web3 = new Web3(ENDPOINT);
return await web3.eth.getBlockNumber();
}You would need the web3 library:
1 | npm install web3 |
