Can any one give me any hint about how to go about calling

Answer 1

Use Meteor.http.get. Per the docs:

Meteor.http.get(url, [options], [asyncCallback]) Anywhere
Send an HTTP GET request. Equivalent to Meteor.http.call("GET", ...).

The docs actually include some examples of using Twitter, so you should be able to get started with them.
