I've pretty much stated the entire question in the title:

I'm looking for an iPhone application that can call an online API (preferably RESTful but I'll accept anything) as a reaction to triggering a geofence.

So, as a stupid example, a tweet could be sent out automatically when I arrive at my house. The iPhone would see the geofence trigger, the application would be invoked, which would call the Twitter API to send the tweet.

So kind of like boxcar but in reverse where the general program gets handed various API to call when a reminder is triggered? – bmike♦ Nov 28 '12 at 0:45
Exactly. In fact finding something like Boxcar was the first part of what I needed. (I ended up going with Prowl). Now I want to be able to trigger events in my house (turning on the lights through a REST API, for example) when I pull up to the house. – OverloadUT Nov 28 '12 at 0:47
Perhaps someone in jailbreak land has hacked the reminders app since it has everything you want except an URL to call. – bmike♦ Nov 28 '12 at 15:49
