## Method: searchPublicChat
[Back to methods index](index.md)
Searches public chat by its username. Currently only private and channel chats can be public. Returns chat if found, otherwise some error is returned
### Params:
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|:-------------:|:--------:|------------:|
|username|[string](../types/string.md) | Yes|Username to be resolved|
### Return type: [Chat](../types/Chat.md)
### Example:
```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
$this->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) { // Login as a user
$sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
$code = '';
for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
$code .= fgetc(STDIN);
}
$MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}
$Chat = $MadelineProto->searchPublicChat(['username' => string, ]);
```
Or, if you're into Lua:
```
Chat = searchPublicChat({username=string, })
```
