### MadelineProto Example ([now async for huge speed and parallelism!](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/docs/ASYNC.html)):


```php
if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
include 'madeline.php';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();

$messages.StickerSet = $MadelineProto->stickers->createStickerSet(['masks' => Bool, 'animated' => Bool, 'user_id' => InputUser, 'title' => 'string', 'short_name' => 'string', 'thumb' => InputDocument, 'stickers' => [InputStickerSetItem, InputStickerSetItem], ]);

messages.StickerSet = stickers.createStickerSet({masks=Bool, animated=Bool, user_id=InputUser, title='string', short_name='string', thumb=InputDocument, stickers={InputStickerSetItem}, })
```
