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();

$geochats.Messages = $MadelineProto->geochats->search(['peer' => InputGeoChat, 'q' => 'string', 'filter' => MessagesFilter, 'min_date' => int, 'max_date' => int, 'offset' => int, 'max_id' => int, 'limit' => int, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

geochats.Messages = geochats.search({peer=InputGeoChat, q='string', filter=MessagesFilter, min_date=int, max_date=int, offset=int, max_id=int, limit=int, })
