Fetch block chain tip without subscribing

[dagurval]

Currently it looks like you have to subscribe to headers if you want to know the block chain tip

Hmm. Yeah I guess that's an imperfection. blockchain.headers.gettip? get_tip? tip?

[dagurval]

It's kind of annoying when I just want to hack together a script that pulls the tip every few seconds. Now I have to do the proper way :-).

I like blockchain.headers.tip.

it's kind of weird though when the two existing header methods are under blockchain.block, while one is in blockchain.headers.

[cculianu]

Ah yeah that makes sense. And I believe right now it actually complains that you're already subscribed, right? IIRC...

I like blockchain.headers.tip.

So do I. Feel free to go with that one. I guess takes 0 parameters [] and returns the same result you'd get from headers.subscribe, right?
