Now, with newer versions of iOS than the above stated iOS 5 you can use: UIRefreshControl.

There is a really good tutorial on creating your own custom pull to refresh for your iOS Application: http://ios-blog.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-add-a-custom-pull-to-refresh-in-your-ios-application/

Apple has introduced UIRefreshControl in iOS6. You can integrate it in your UITableViewController using

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Initialize Refresh Control
    UIRefreshControl *refreshControl = [[UIRefreshControl alloc] init];
    // Configure Refresh Control
    [refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(refresh:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
    // Configure View Controller
    [self setRefreshControl:refreshControl];
}

the refresh: method will trigger the update and you can stop it in your API callback using:

 [(UIRefreshControl *)sender endRefreshing];
