(additionally we have to ask ``curl`` not to try to interpret any ``{}``

|
||||
|
||||
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::
|
||||
In the response to this ``sync`` request the server includes a token that can
|
||||
be used to obtain updates since this point under the object key ``next_batch``.
|
||||
To use this token, specify its value as the ``since`` parameter to another
|
||||
``/sync`` request.::
|
||||
|
||||
curl -XGET "http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
|
||||
curl -XGET "https://localhost:8448/_matrix/client/r0/sync?since=s9_7_0_1_1_1&access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"chunk": [],
|
||||
"end": "s39_18_0",
|
||||
"start": "s39_18_0"
|
||||
"account_data": {
|
||||
"events": []
|
||||
},
|
||||
"next_batch": "s9_9_0_1_1_1",
|
||||
"presence": {
|
||||
"events": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"content": {
|
||||
"currently_active": true,
|
||||
"last_active_ago": 12,
|
||||
"presence": "online"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"sender": "@example:localhost",
|
||||
"type": "m.presence"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"rooms": {
|
||||
"invite": {},
|
||||
"join": {},
|
||||
"leave": {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
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 ``s39_18_0``) as the ``from``
|
||||
query parameter e.g. ``http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/api/v1/events?access
|
||||
_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN&from=s39_18_0``. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
NB: The timeout can be changed by adding a ``timeout`` query parameter, which is
|
||||
in milliseconds. A timeout of 0 will not block.
|
||||
By default this request will not wait in the server, always returning a value
|
||||
even if nothing interesting happened. However, by applying the ``timeout``
|
||||
query parameter, which gives a duration in miliseconds, we can ask the server
|
||||
to wait for up to that amount of time before it returns. If no interesting
|
||||
events have happened since then, the response will be relatively empty.::
|
||||
|
||||
curl -XGET "https://localhost:8448/_matrix/client/r0/sync?since=s9_13_0_1_1_1&access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
|
||||
{
|
||||
"account_data": {
|
||||
"events": []
|
||||
},
|
||||
"next_batch": "s9_13_0_1_1_1",
|
||||
"presence": {
|
||||
"events": []
|
||||
},
|
||||
"rooms": {
|
||||
"invite": {},
|
||||
"join": {},
|
||||
"leave": {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
