### 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();
$Document = $MadelineProto->messages->getDocumentByHash(['sha256' => 'bytes', 'size' => int, 'mime_type' => 'string', ]);
```
Or, if you're into Lua:
```lua
Document = messages.getDocumentByHash({sha256='bytes', size=int, mime_type='string', })
```
