user2751: This URL today: https://blockchain.info/q/getblockcount
Was giving the error "Too many requests".
Any alternative out there to get the blockcount via an API? Thanks

user2751: Another public API I found for this:
https://blockexplorer.com/api/status?q=getBlockCount
But the best one so far, is blockR.io because it even has testnet support:
MainNet: http://btc.blockr.io/api/v1/coin/info
TestNet: http://tbtc.blockr.io/api/v1/coin/info
