Invoking Chatter Services from Salesforce Apex code.

Hello Gurus,

I am trying to utilise the REST API Chatter services within my salesforce Oragnisation. I am new to Salesforce and i am not sure how to access the function defined and send parameters to those Chatter services using REST request.  I blindly tried couple of steps using RESTful HTTP request from Salesforce but i am getting an error. Need your assistance on how to start and tackle this.

Thanks for your help! 

Regards,
Raja

Instead of making a REST callout, it would be easier to call one of the sendMessages() methods from the ConnectApi.ChatterMessages (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_ConnectAPI_ChatterMessages_static_methods.htm) Apex class.
