### 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.Dialogs = $MadelineProto->messages->getDialogs(['exclude_pinned' => Bool, 'folder_id' => int, 'offset_date' => int, 'offset_id' => int, 'offset_peer' => InputPeer, 'limit' => int, 'hash' => [int, int], ]);
```

Or, if you're into Lua:

```lua
messages.Dialogs = messages.getDialogs({exclude_pinned=Bool, folder_id=int, offset_date=int, offset_id=int, offset_peer=InputPeer, limit=int, hash={int}, })
```
