}

// !!! This API id/API hash combination will not work !!!
// !!! You must get your own @ my.telegram.org !!!
$api_id = 0;
$api_hash = '';

$MadelineProto->start();

$messages_Messages = $MadelineProto->messages->searchGlobal(['q' => 'string', 'offset_date' => int, 'offset_peer' => InputPeer, 'offset_id' => int, 'limit' => int, ]);
