    autostart=true
    autorestart=true
    stdout_logfile=none
    redirect_stderr=true
     ```

## Usage

1. Run server/parser
    ```
    usage: php server.php [--help] [-a=|--address=127.0.0.1] [-p=|--port=9503] [-s=|--session=]
    
    Options:
            --help      Show this message
            
        -a  --address   Server ip (optional) (default: 127.0.0.1)
                        To listen external connections use 0.0.0.0 and fill IP_WHITELIST in .env
                        
        -p  --port      Server port (optional) (default: 9503)
        
        -s  --session   Name for session file (optional)
                        Multiple sessions can be specified: "--session=user --session=bot"
                        
                        Each session is stored in `sessions/%session%.madeline`. 
                        Nested folders supported.
                        See README for more examples.
   
    Also  options can be set in .env file (see .env.example)
    ```
1. Access telegram api directly with simple GET/POST requests.
    
    Its recommended to use http_build_query for GET requests.
    
    **Rules:**
    * All methods from MadelineProto supported: [Methods List](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/API_docs/methods/)
    * Url: `http://%address%:%port%/api[/%session%]/%class%.%method%/?%param%=%val%`
    * <b>Important: api available only from ip in whitelist.</b> 
        By default it is: `127.0.0.1`
        You can add client ip in .env file to `API_CLIENT_WHITELIST` (use json format)
    * If method is inside class (messages, contacts and etc.) use '.' to separate class from method: 
        `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/contacts.getContacts`
    * If method requires array of values, use any name of array, for example 'data': 
        `?data[peer]=@xtrime&data[message]=Hello!`. Order of parameters does't matter in this case.
    * If method requires one or multiple separate parameters (not inside array) then pass parameters with any names but **in strict order**: 
        `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getInfo/?id=@xtrime` or `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getInfo/?abcd=@xtrime` works the same

    **Examples:**
    * get_info about channel/user: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getInfo/?id=@xtrime`
    * get_info about currect account: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getSelf`
    * repost: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/messages.forwardMessages/?data[from_peer]=@xtrime&data[to_peer]=@xtrime&data[id]=1234`
    * get messages from channel/user: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getHistory/?data[peer]=@breakingmash&data[limit]=10`
    * get messages with text in HTML: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getHistoryHtml/?data[peer]=@breakingmash&data[limit]=10`
    * search: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/searchGlobal/?data[q]=Hello%20World&data[limit]=10`
    * sendMessage: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/sendMessage/?data[peer]=@xtrime&data[message]=Hello!`
    * copy message from one channel to another (not repost): `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/copyMessages/?data[from_peer]=@xtrime&data[to_peer]=@xtrime&data[id][0]=1`

## Advanced features

* Multiple sessions support. 
    When running  multiple sessions, need to define which session to use for request.
    Each session is stored in `sessions/{$session}.madeline`. Nested folders supported.
    **Examples:**
    * `php server.php --session=bot --session=users/xtrime --session=users/user1`
    * `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/bot/getSelf`
    * `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/getSelf` 
    * `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/user1/getSelf`
    * sessions file paths are: `sessions/bot.madeline`, `sessions/users/xtrime.madeline` and `sessions/users/user1.madeline`
    * glob syntax for sessions:
        * `--session=*` to use all `sessions/*.madeline` files.
        * `--session=users/* --session=bots/*`  to use all session files from `sessions/bots` and `sessions/users` folders. 
* Session management (**Use with caution, can be unstable**)
    
    **Examples:**
    * Adding session: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/system/addInstance?session=users/xtrime`
    * Removing session: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/system/removeInstance?session=users/xtrime`
       
    If there is no authorization in session, or session file is blank, authorization required:
    
    User: 
    * `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/phoneLogin?phone=+7123...`
    * `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/completePhoneLogin?code=123456`
    * (optional) `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/complete2falogin?password=123456`
    * (optional) `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/completeSignup?firstName=MyExampleName`
    
    Bot:
    * `http://127.0.0.1:9503/combinedApi/botLogin?token=34298141894:aflknsaflknLKNFS`
* EventHandler updates via websocket. Connect to `ws://127.0.0.1:9503/events`. You will get all events in json.
    Each event is json object in [json-rpc 2.0 format](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#response_object). Example: 
    
    When using CombinedAPI (multiple accounts) name of session can be added to path of websocket endpoint: 
    This endpoint will send events only from `users/xtrime` session: `ws://127.0.0.1:9503/events/users/xtrime`
    
    PHP websocket client example: [websocket-events.php](https://github.com/xtrime-ru/TelegramApiServer/blob/master/examples/websocket-events.php)
