Connecting to twitter

Hello,

I would like to try and connect to twitter with prolog.
I am a beginner when it comes to API's so please bear with me.

I imagine using something like:

 http_get('
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/mentions_timeline.json?count=10',Reply,
[]).

Where reply would be a Json term which I could then convert to normal
prolog terms with *json_to_prolog*(+JSON, _Prolog)

I am having trouble understanding the Oauth requirements of twitter. I
understand I have to create an app on twitter and this will give me various
keys and access token secrets. I imagine I would use these to build up a
string which I would pass to a term like http_get or http_post.

I have successfully used a python library to retrieve tweets but the
details of what is happening in the background are hidden.

Any help/ explanations would be appreciated.
