How to fetch specific details from the result of twitter api? - ios

Question

With twitter api named GET friends/list, https://api.twitter.com/1.1/friends/list.json i could get details of every user i am following. What i need is some particular data, 'geo' and 'coordinates' to be specific. There do exist a parameter named 'skip_status=true' to skip the status. But please let me know if either 'geo and coordinates' or 'status' alone could be fetched.

This is what i am getting(supposing i have only 2 users in my following). What i need is as follows:
"geo": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [
28.612486,
77.377425
]
},
"coordinates": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [
77.377425,
28.612486
]
},
"geo": null,
"coordinates": null,

You need to filter out those details from the results yourself. The API will return the complete person object, not specific fields.
