### 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();

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

Or, if you're into Lua:

```lua
contacts_TopPeers = contacts.getTopPeers({correspondents=Bool, bots_pm=Bool, bots_inline=Bool, phone_calls=Bool, groups=Bool, channels=Bool, offset=int, limit=int, hash={int}, })
```

### Errors this method can return:

| Error    | Description   |

|TYPES_EMPTY|The types field is empty|
