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();

$Updates = $MadelineProto->contacts->getLocated(['background' => Bool, 'geo_point' => InputGeoPoint, 'self_expires' => int, ]);

Or, if you're into Lua:

Updates = contacts.getLocated({background=Bool, geo_point=InputGeoPoint, self_expires=int, })
