description <<-MD
#{twitter_dependencies_missing if dependencies_missing?}
The TwitterStreamAgent follows the Twitter stream in real time, watching for certain keywords, or filters, that you provide.
To follow the Twitter stream, provide an array of `filters`. Multiple words in a filter must all show up in a tweet, but are independent of order.
If you provide an array instead of a filter, the first entry will be considered primary and any additional values will be treated as aliases.
To be able to use this Agent you need to authenticate with Twitter in the [Services](/services) section first.
Set `expected_update_period_in_days` to the maximum amount of time that you'd expect to pass between Events being created by this Agent.
`generate` should be either `events` or `counts`. If set to `counts`, it will output event summaries whenever the Agent is scheduled.

When in `counts` mode, TwitterStreamAgent events look like:
{
"filter": "hello world",
"count": 25,
"time": 3456785456
}
When in `events` mode, TwitterStreamAgent events look like:
{
"filter": "selectorgadget",
... every Tweet field, including ...
"text": "something",
"user": {
"name": "Mr. Someone",
"screen_name": "Someone",
"location": "Vancouver BC Canada",
"description": "...",
