I'm having a little trouble thinking through this and deciding if it's a design flaw on my behalf or if I'm missing a piece that could make this work. Basically I'm using the new SLRequest to make a Twitter API call. After the data is returned, I'd like to put it into an object and return that object:

-(AUDSlide *) getFollowerSlide {

    SLRequest *getRequest = [SLRequest
                          requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter
                          requestMethod:SLRequestMethodGET
                          URL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json?user_id=%@", [[self.twitterAccount valueForKey:@"properties"] valueForKey:@"user_id"]]]
                          parameters:nil];

getRequest.account = twitterAccount;

AUDSlide *slide = [[AUDSlide alloc] init];

[getRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData,
                                         NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error)
 {

     if ([urlResponse statusCode] == 200) {

         NSError *jsonError = nil;
         NSDictionary *list = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData
                                                              options:0
                                                                error:&jsonError];
         NSLog(@"Number of Followers: %u", [[list objectForKey:@"ids"] count]);

         slide.title = @"Followers";
         slide.number = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%u",[[list objectForKey:@"ids"] count]];
     }
     else{
         slide.title = @"Error";
         slide.number = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"E%u", [urlResponse statusCode]];
     }

 }];


return slide;

}

Of course the slide is returned before the call is complete and returns a nil object. So I'm not sure if I should try to force this into a synchronous request (that seems like it could be a bad idea) or rethink the design. Does anyone have any advice?
