OpenVisuals API is a programming library for Processing (and Java Applets), that helps visulization creators and artists to easily create an information visualization. The major API sections provides:

• importing of datasets from OpenVisuals (xml importing ready)
• a customization interface (not ready: looking for better solutions than java awt)
• enabling the communication of the visualization and OpenVisuals website
• making the visualization work with any dataset uploaded to OpenVisuals.

To import the library, download and unzip it under processing > libraries folder. So it should look like: processing > libraries > openvisuals > library > openvisuals.jar. Then when you are building an application in Processing, select sketch > import library > openvisuals from the menu.
