+        Creates a proxy object over the current :ref:`TelegramClient` through
+        which making requests will use :tl:`InvokeWithTakeoutRequest` to wrap
+        them. In other words, returns the current client modified so that
+        requests are done as a takeout:
+
+        >>> from telethon.sync import TelegramClient
+        >>>
+        >>> with TelegramClient(...) as client:

+        >>>         takeout.get_messages('me')  # wrapped through takeout
+
+        Some of the calls made through the takeout session will have lower
+        flood limits. This is useful if you want to export the data from
+        conversations or mass-download media, since the rate limits will
+        be lower. Only some requests will be affected, and you will need
+        to adjust the `wait_time` of methods like `client.iter_messages
+        <telethon.client.messages.MessageMethods.iter_messages>`.
+
+        By default, all parameters are ``False``, and you need to enable
+        those you plan to use by setting them to ``True``.
+
+        You should ``except errors.TakeoutInitDelayError as e``, since this
+        exception will raise depending on the condition of the session. You
+        can then access ``e.seconds`` to know how long you should wait for
+        before calling the method again.
+
+        Args:
+            contacts (`bool`):
+                Set to ``True`` if you plan on downloading contacts.

+            users (`bool`):
+                Set to ``True`` if you plan on downloading information
+                from users and their private conversations with you.
+
+            chats (`bool`):
+                Set to ``True`` if you plan on downloading information
+                from small group chats, such as messages and media.
+
+            megagroups (`bool`):
+                Set to ``True`` if you plan on downloading information
+                from megagroups (channels), such as messages and media.
+
+            channels (`bool`):
+                Set to ``True`` if you plan on downloading information
+                from broadcast channels, such as messages and media.
+
+            files (`bool`):
+                Set to ``True`` if you plan on downloading media and
+                you don't only wish to export messages.
+
+            max_file_size (`int`):
