(Relative newbie in APIs)
I'm having trouble finding examples of Singly endpoint examples in actual use. Are there any out there?

Examples as in existing sites or applications that use it? Or “how-to” style tutorials?

Yessir. I'm looking for something in a "how to work with returned Twitter json objects in the Singly API" kind of example.--

The node.js example app contains an example of returning the 5 latest tweets. (http://github.com/singly/nodejs_express_skeleton). Anything in particular you are looking for? Let us know and we can offer suggestions!
assuming obj is the parsed JSON object
Each tweet can be accessed with obj[i] where i is between 0 and limit-1 (the limit default is 20)
obj[i].data.user.screen_name is the user that posted the tweet (change 'screen_name' to 'name' to get the real name)
obj[i].data.text is the contents of the tweet.
Just follow this pattern and look at https://singly.com/twitter and you'll be doing amazing things in no time!

The language should help :) I'm using Sinatra (Ruby). Here is the fun in by main.rb:
get "/home" do
@title = "ShortJab.me"
if session[:access_token]
@self = HTTParty.get(self_url,{
:query => {:access_token => session[:access_token]}
}).parsed_response
end
@display_name = JSON.generate(@self) do |id|
id["i"].data.user.screen_name
end
erb :home
end
Here is the view:
<p> Works! Whats up <%= @display_name %> </p>
I get the huge JSON output but can't figure out how to access "screen_name"

It doesn't look to me like `JSON.generate` uses a block: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/json/rdoc/JSON.html#method-i-generate (view source)
Here's a little script I put together to display the latest user/tweet from the Singly API. Is this what you're looking for?
#! /usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'httparty'
API_BASE = 'https://api.singly.com'
tweets = HTTParty.get(API_BASE + '/services/twitter/tweets', {
:query => {:access_token => ENV['SINGLY_TOKEN']}
})
tweet = tweets.first
puts "@#{tweet['data']['user']['screen_name']}: #{tweet['data']['text']}"

Noticed your code is probably looking at /services/twitter/self (Is that self_url?). Here's a new example hitting that too:
me = HTTParty.get(API_BASE + '/services/twitter/self', {
:query => {:access_token => ENV['SINGLY_TOKEN']}
}).first
puts "My screen name is @#{me['data']['screen_name']}"
tweets = HTTParty.get(API_BASE + '/services/twitter/tweets', {
:query => {:access_token => ENV['SINGLY_TOKEN']}
})
tweet = tweets.first
puts "@#{tweet['data']['user']['screen_name']}: #{tweet['data']['text']}"

Ah-ha! Brilliant! As soon as my masters let me go home from the office, I'm using this strategy.
I eventually figured out that `JSON.generate` was unnecessary for this purpose. 'HTTParty.get' already returns what Ii need :)

She works! I'm even able to get @image = me['data']['profile_image_url'] :)
Oddly, I can only grab the little pic...

Ah, we can help with that too!
You can remove the _normal at the end of the image URL to get to the original photo. Or, add ?map=true and we'll put it in me['map']['photo']
me = HTTParty.get(API_BASE + '/services/twitter/self', {
:query => {
:access_token => ENV['SINGLY_TOKEN'],
:map => true
}
}).first
puts "Original photo: #{me['map']['photo']}"
