SLRequest Twitter iOS

Question

I am downloading a users timeline for my iOS app. Right now I am getting the full JSON response from Twitter's API URL https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json

It is returning everything as shown here...

Timeline response: (
            {
            contributors = "<null>";
            coordinates = "<null>";
            "created_at" = "Sat Jun 08 03:59:36 +0000 2013";
            entities =         {
                hashtags =             (
                );
                symbols =             (
                );
                urls =             (
                                    {
                        "display_url" = "vine.co/v/bLrw1IjLKVl";
                        "expanded_url" = "https://vine.co/v/bLrw1IjLKVl";
                        indices =                     (
                            36,
                            59
                        );
                        url = "https://t.co/8yHzCzMFHC";
                    }
                );
                "user_mentions" =             (
                );
            };
            "favorite_count" = 3;
            favorited = 0;
            geo = "<null>";
            id = 343215709989507073;
            "id_str" = 343215709989507073;
            "in_reply_to_screen_name" = "<null>";
            "in_reply_to_status_id" = "<null>";
            "in_reply_to_status_id_str" = "<null>";
            "in_reply_to_user_id" = "<null>";
            "in_reply_to_user_id_str" = "<null>";
            lang = en;
            place = "<null>";
            "possibly_sensitive" = 0;
            "retweet_count" = 1;
            retweeted = 0;
            source = "<a href=\"http://vine.co\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vine - Make a Scene</a>";
            text = "Black people neighborhoods at night https://t.co/8yHzCzMFHC";
            truncated = 0;
            user =         {
                id = 1129039734;
                "id_str" = 1129039734;
            };
        }
    )

But I only want the "text" parameter. How do I only get the text of the tweets?

Thanks!

This is the solution I ended up using...

NSDictionary *timelineData = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:&jsonError];
                            if (timelineData) {
                                tweets = [NSMutableArray new];
                                for (NSDictionary * obj in timelineData) {
                                    NSString *text = [obj objectForKey:@"text"];
                                    [tweets addObject:text];
                                }
                                [self updateTableView];
                            }

Hopefully this helps a few people in the future.
