```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.BotResults = $MadelineProto->messages->getInlineBotResults(['bot' => InputUser, 'peer' => InputPeer, 'geo_point' => InputGeoPoint, 'query' => 'string', 'offset' => 'string', ]);
