Pagination

I need to create AJAX pagination for a custom event template…

echo EM_Events::get_pagination_links()
is what i need to use to get the $_REQUEST[‘pno’] query param to update, but how do i integrate this with what a standard wordpress query uses, what is the equivalent to $wp_query->query_vars['paged'] or $wp_query->max_num_pages

Unfortunately there is not much documentation on this topic. I would love to continue to use this plugin but I have hit a brick wall with loading in News Posts asynchronously using what the documentation has provided us.

Any recommendations are helpful, and thank you in advance.
