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

if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
define('MADELINE_BRANCH', '');
include 'madeline.php';

$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API('session.madeline');
$MadelineProto->start();

$messages_Dialogs = $MadelineProto->messages->getDialogs(['offset_date' => int, 'offset_id' => int, 'offset_peer' => InputPeer, 'limit' => int, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

messages_Dialogs = messages.getDialogs({offset_date=int, offset_id=int, offset_peer=InputPeer, limit=int, })
