Just a few more refinements.

                  require 'lib/auto_api'
                  require 'json'
                  class TwitterClient < AutoApi::Base
                    authenticate "username", "password"
                    service_url "http://twitter.com/statuses/{remote_method}.{format}"
                    remote_method :friends_timeline, :default_parameters => {:format => "json", :remote_method => "friends_timeline"} do |json_response|
                      JSON.parse(json_response)
                    end
                  end
                  
                  twitter_client = TwitterClient.new
                  twitter_client.friends_timeline(:count => 2)  # => returns parsed JSON object, e.g., an Array of post Hashes
                  
                  

The next logical steps are to let the service_url statement accept default parameters, and allow the remote_method statement to force overrides. That way if a person calls twitter_client.friends_timeline(:format => "rss"), I could have it force json, since the callback block expects it.
