The simplest method/function to retrieve the latest block number on ETH aka Ethereum Blockchain is via the following method:
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:
npm install web3
