 Getting live state
 ------------------
 Once you know which rooms the client has previously interacted with, you need to
 listen for incoming events. This can be done like so::
 
-    curl -XGET "http://localhost:8080/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access_token=QG15ZnJpZW5kOmxvY2FsaG9zdA...XKuGdVsovHmwMyDDvK&from=END"
+    curl -XGET "http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
     
     {
         "chunk": [], 
-        "end": "215", 
-        "start": "215"
+        "end": "s39_18_0", 
+        "start": "s39_18_0"
     }
     
 This will block waiting for an incoming event, timing out after several seconds.
 Even if there are no new events (as in the example above), there will be some
 pagination stream response keys. The client should make subsequent requests 
-using the value of the ``"end"`` key (in this case ``215``) as the ``from`` 
-query parameter. This value should be stored so when the client reopens your app
-after a period of inactivity, you can resume from where you got up to in the 
-event stream. If it has been a long period of inactivity, there may be LOTS of 
-events waiting for the user. In this case, you may wish to get all state instead
-and then resume getting live state from a newer end token.
+using the value of the ``"end"`` key (in this case ``s39_18_0``) as the ``from`` 
+query parameter e.g. ``http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access

 NB: The timeout can be changed by adding a ``timeout`` query parameter, which is
 in milliseconds. A timeout of 0 will not block.
