### MadelineProto Example:


```
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();

$contacts_TopPeers = $MadelineProto->contacts->getTopPeers(['correspondents' => Bool, 'bots_pm' => Bool, 'bots_inline' => Bool, 'groups' => Bool, 'channels' => Bool, 'offset' => int, 'limit' => int, 'hash' => int, ]);
```
