    end_time="2024-12-31T23:59:59Z",
    tweet_fields=["public_metrics", "created_at", "author_id"],
    sort_order="relevancy",

    {"value": "sperax OR USDs OR SPA -is:retweet", "tag": "sperax"},
    {"value": "defi yield arbitrum -is:retweet", "tag": "defi"},
]
async for tweet in client.stream(rules):
    print(f"[{tweet.tag}] {tweet.text}")
```
