## Twitter Search Spaces

### What it is
This block searches for Twitter Spaces based on specified terms.

### How it works
<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->
This block queries the Twitter API v2 to search for Twitter Spaces (live audio conversations) matching a search term. Results can be filtered by state (live, scheduled, or all) and include Space metadata like title, host information, and participant counts.

The block uses Tweepy with OAuth 2.0 authentication and supports expansions to include additional data about creators, hosts, speakers, invited users, and topics. Returns paginated results with Space IDs, titles, and host information.
