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->stories->startLive(pinned: $Bool, noforwards: $Bool, rtmp_stream: $Bool, peer: $InputPeer, caption: 'string', entities: [$MessageEntity, $MessageEntity], parse_mode: 'string', privacy_rules: [$InputPrivacyRule, $InputPrivacyRule], messages_enabled: $Bool, send_paid_messages_stars: $long, );
