MadelineProto Example (now async for huge speed and parallelism!):

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();

$account.Takeout = $MadelineProto->account->initTakeoutSession(['contacts' => Bool, 'message_users' => Bool, 'message_chats' => Bool, 'message_megagroups' => Bool, 'message_channels' => Bool, 'files' => Bool, 'file_max_size' => int, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

account.Takeout = account.initTakeoutSession({contacts=Bool, message_users=Bool, message_chats=Bool, message_megagroups=Bool, message_channels=Bool, files=Bool, file_max_size=int, })
