I was wondering if there was a way for processing to get strings from [random.org](http://random.org). Is there a library I should use? And, if so, how would I use it?

They have an API…

In addition to documentation, the [random.org](http://random.org) API also has a Java repo:

> **[RandomOrg/JSON-RPC-Java](https://github.com/RandomOrg/JSON-RPC-Java)**
>
> Random.org JSON-RPC API (Revision 1) Java implementation. - RandomOrg/JSON-RPC-Java

and someone wrote a Java client:

> **[danigulyas/java-random-org](https://github.com/danigulyas/java-random-org)**

> Client for api.random.org in java. Contribute to danigulyas/java-random-org development by creating an account on GitHub.
