Twitter JSON URL for user timeline

I have a simple question, in my iOS app I have the twitter search api. I am looking to implement instead a search for hastags and user timelines. For hastags I have the url: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23HASHTAGHERE But I was unable to find the JSON url for a user's timeline. If someone can point me to this that would be great. Thank You

CURRENT FOR HASTAG:

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=&ands=%@&phrase=&rpp=50",searchTerm];
  NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];       //Setup and start async download

NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url]; NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];

The URL for a user's timeline: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json

Source: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline

Note that this is for iOS 5+ since it uses TWRequest

    NSURL *getTimeline = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json"];

    NSDictionary *parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                               <twitter screen name goes here>, @"screen_name",
                                nil];

    TWRequest *twitterRequest = [[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:getTimeline
                                                    parameters:parameters
                                                 requestMethod:TWRequestMethodGET];

//Set a twitter account (Gotten from iOS 5+)
    [twitterRequest setAccount:self.twitterAccount];

    [twitterRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error)
     {
         if (!error)
         {             
             JSONDecoder *decoder = [[JSONDecoder alloc] initWithParseOptions:JKParseOptionNone];
             NSArray *twitterTimeline = [decoder objectWithData:responseData];

         }
         else
         {
             //Deal with error
         }


     }];

If you just want a JSON timeline without any authentication, etc, then you can use: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=(screen-name-here)
