Have you looked into RestSharp?

It makes calling RESTful API’s very easy. The example from their documentation for getting a twitter timeline:

// Create the client
var client = new RestClient();

// Set the service url
client.BaseUrl = "http://twitter.com";

// Set an optional authentication
client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator("username", "password");

// Create the request
var request = new RestRequest();

// The request is relative to the client base url
request.Resource = "statuses/friends_timeline.xml";

// Execute the request - the data is stored in the response.
RestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
