### 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();

$HttpWait = $MadelineProto->http_wait(['max_delay' => int, 'wait_after' => int, 'max_wait' => int, ]);
```

Or, if you're into Lua:

```lua
HttpWait = http_wait({max_delay=int, wait_after=int, max_wait=int, })
```
