I'm trying to get the latest block (it's height) using Ethereum Developer APIs of etherscan.
For example, I can get it from blockcypher using the following URL:
https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/eth/main
(see the field "height")
Couldn't find a way to get this data from etherscan, is there and I'm missing it?

You can do this in two steps:
Get the number of the latest block using:
https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=proxy&action=eth_blockNumber&apikey=YourApiKeyToken
get the block using:
https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=block&action=getblockreward&blockno=2165403&apikey=YourApiKeyToken
change blockno='value obtained from the previous step'
Hope this helps
