Continuous monitoring

}
-> { monitor_id }

Poll /events?monitorId=<id> or use a webhook (see tweet-webhooks).

Typical flow

1. Ask the user for the hashtag and whether they want recent only, top, or live monitoring.
2. One-shot read: GET /x/tweets/search?q=%23<tag>&queryType=<Latest|Top>.
3. Live monitoring: create a monitor, poll events, or configure a webhook.
